Keto Strawberry and Cream Shortbread Sandwiches
This delicious Keto dessert recipe is rich in fats and flavor and prepared with just 5 ingredients. Our low carb shortbread biscuits require only unsalted butter, ground almonds, and erythritol to prepare the dough. The dough is then chilled before being cut into discs and baked until golden. Once chilled, the biscuits are simply sandwiched with fresh strawberries and whipped heavy cream. Perfect for an afternoon Keto treat or as a low carb dessert.
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring the butter to room temperature to soften. Add the softened butter to a bowl along with the erythritol. Beat together well to combine until creamy and very soft.
Step 2
Add the ground almonds to the bowl along with the softened butter and sweetener. Mix everything together well to combine, forming a ball of dough. Cover and transfer the dough to the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Remove the dough from the fridge. Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper to a thickness of half an inch. Use 3 inch wide circular pastry/cookie cutters to cut 12 even-sized circles from the dough.
Step 4
Carefully arrange the biscuits across the lined oven tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until just firm and lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely and firm further.
Step 5
While the biscuits are cooling, you can prepare the cream. Add the cream to a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously for several minutes until thick, creamy, and soft peaks form. You can, of course, also whip the cream in a stand mixer.
Step 6
Select 6 of the cooled biscuits. Divide the cream evenly between the 6 cooled biscuits, reserving 2 teaspoons of cream to one side. Fill the centers of the 6 biscuits with a mound of cream.
Step 7
Slice each strawberry into quarters lengthwise, discarding any stalks. Place two slices of strawberry on top of each mound of cream. Turn the remaining 6 biscuits over and dot each one in the center with a little of the reserved cream. Place one of these biscuits cream side down on top of a strawberry and cream-filled biscuit, sandwiching the biscuits together. Serve immediately.
