Strawberry shortcake is a classic spring dessert that’s normally filled with sugar, cream and refined white flour. I created this upgraded version so that you could enjoy this treat without making yourself feel unwell! Add it to your Easter brunch menu, or make it as an accompaniment to a special Sunday night supper. With decadent strawberry and cream flavors and delicious almond flour shortcakes, this gluten-free, dairy-free dessert will definitely be a crowd pleaser!
