I’m pretty sure that as long as I live, I will always get a little bit giddy when strawberry season rolls back around each spring.

I. Love. Strawberries.

Especially after a long winter, there’s something about those vivid, sweet, juicy, and yummy berries that just sing of summertime. So accordingly, over the past two years, I have totally become “that single girl” who buys the enormous carton of Driscoll’s berries at Costco…like once a week. And basically eat them all by myself. Maybe occasionally popping them in a dish to share with friends. But let’s be real, mostly all by myself.

So whenever the craving hits or someone requests strawberry shortcake, I always have my berries and am ready to go! Seriously, it is one of my favorite quick and easy impromptu desserts to make for friends in the summer. But since I have so many friends who are no longer friends with dairy, I have taken to also keeping stashes of coconut cream (or coconut milk) in the fridge so that I can be ready to whip up this dairy-free version of the dessert that my vegan and non-vegan friends alike all seem to love.

OH, and it’s also made with my favorite 3-ingredient coconut biscuits, which I have sweetened up with a bit of honey (or you can substitute maple syrup or agave to make it vegan). So the whole dessert can come together easily in less than 30 minutes.

Now seriously, what’s not to love about that?

For those who have never made coconut whipped cream before, it really couldn’t be easier. You can check out my step-by-step tutorial here. But basically, you just drain out the coconut water from a can of coconut milk that has been refrigerated for 24 hours. Then scoop out the thick coconut cream, and whisk it with some powdered sugar and vanilla until it thickens up like whipped cream.

Easy peasy. And tasty. And 100% vegan.

As for the strawberries, well, I’ve been a Driscoll’s girl my entire life. But beyond that, Driscoll’s has been the strawberry in everyone’s shortcake for over 100 years. That’s a century of some delicious berries and shortcakes.

I love them because they are consistently good and flavorful, never watery or bland. And as a food stylist and someone who likes good looking berries to eat (and photograph), I have to point out that they always seem to be the prettiest berries in the store too, which I love.

Anyway, these vegan strawberry shortcakes are super easy to make. Just whip up the sweetened biscuits for shortcake. Spoon on some coconut whipped cream. And then top the shortcakes with lots of fresh and juicy strawberries.

Perfection.

  12. Wait what is this amazing gif-like action happening in your photo?? So cool!!! Strawberry shortcake is a favorite of mine, and coconut whipped cream is on my to-do list…I know I’m behind! Looks great Ali!

  13. Strawberry season is my favorite too! These shortcakes look beautiful and delicious!!

  14. Amazing! These little cakes are just gorgeous and so is your photography – are those strawberries even real? Beautiful!

  15. Oh gosh, this looks amazing! I’ve never tried coconut whipped cream before, and I’m kicking myself for it, given how many people in my family are lactose intolerant. This will be a hit at our next family gathering, I’m sure!

  16. Now I’m craving strawberry shortcake like whoa!

  17. I’m doing a vegan challenge this month and was just thinking about biscuits (and how they’re off limits) last night. I’ll definitely have to give your recipe a try!

  18. Thanks for sharing such a yummy recipe! Biscuits never turn out for me but these were great! Perfect use for 12 lbs of fresh picked strawberries. :)

  19. Just made these- took hardly any time at all and they were SO delish- my partner even thought the biscuits tasted like those made with butter. I like to dice a few strawberries and mix them into the whipped cream for extra flavour. A really great recipe that I will keep in my book forever i think!

  20. Sorry to be pedantic but this isn’t technically a vegan recipe if it includes honey (produced by bees)? I’ll definitely be making these though, looks so yummy! I’ll probably replace the honey with agave nectar as it normally works perfectly as a honey replacement in case anyone else is wondering :)

  21. Thank you for the recipe. I try to avoid buying Driscoll products as they are pushing small organic farmers out of business. If I do purchase their berries since nothijg ndg else is available, I buy the oraganic berries that are not sprayed with synthetic chemicals. Will be making this soon!

  22. honey isn’t vegan

    • Hi J — the coconut whipped cream is vegan. The shortcakes can be as well, if you use agave instead of honey (as mentioned in the recipe). We hope you enjoy!

  23. I’m going to make this recipe for my girlfriend today! I hope to succeed!

  24. I love the recipes of this blog, they are delicious

  25. What a yummy and summery dessert, very good
