    Strawberry Shortcake Recipe (Dairy Free)

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe·Leave a review

    Every summer, my mom takes to her bed for about 24 hours.

    She isn't sick.

    She isn't sad.

    She's just in a full-blown food coma. I'm not kidding.

    And the culprit is the most delicious strawberry shortcake on earth. The recipe has been in my family for over 100 years - and every single time my mom makes it, she eats way too much of it, and goes into a deep, dark food coma.

    Amazing strawberry shortcake recipe - passed down through my family for more than 100 years! Modified to be dairy free - yum!

    I finally got the recipe from her last summer.

    And I did the same thing. I just couldn't stop.

    It's that good.

    (Unfortunately, I have young children in the house, so my food coma couldn't last for a full 24 hours.)

    I made a few modifications with Silk Almondmilk to make it dairy-free so that everyone in our house can eat it - and I have to say - it's just as delicious!

    • ¾ Cup Silk Almondmilk
    • Whipped Cream, if desired. (See dairy-free recipe below)

    10. Place about 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
    11. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
    12. Split shortcakes in half while hot.
    13. Fill with strawberries; replace tops.
    14. Top with strawberries and dairy-free whipped cream.
