STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI SHORTCAKES

Category: Fruit Desserts

4 cups strawberries, cut into quarters
1 cup bottled Daily's Strawberry Daiquiri Mix or your favorite strawberry daiquiri mix
3 tbsp cold butter
2-1/3 cups packaged biscuit mix
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp sugar
6 scoops high-quality vanilla ice cream
1 cup whipping cream, whipped

For strawberry sauce: In a medium bowl, combine strawberries and daiquiri mix. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.

For shortcake: In a medium bowl, use a pastry blender to cut butter into biscuit mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened. Drop dough into 6 mounds on an ungreased baking sheet; flatten each mound with the back of a spoon until about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425 for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

To serve, cut shortcakes in half horizontally. Place bottom layers in 6 shallow dessert dishes. Top each with a scoop of ice cream. Replace top layers. Top with strawberry sauce and whipped cream.
