Ingredients

For the roasted strawberries

  • 1 1/2 lbs strawberries stems removed and halved
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the biscuits

  • 2 cups all purpose flour + more for dusting
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut cream chilled**
  • 1/2 cup cold vegan butter
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for vegan
  • Raw sugar for sprinkling optional
  • Vegan whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to serve

Instructions

  • For the roasted strawberries
  • Preheat the oven to 350º F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, toss the strawberries with sugar and vanilla extract. Spread evenly onto the sheet pan. Roast for 10-12 minutes or until slightly softened and juicy. Let cool while you make the biscuits.
  • For the biscuits
  • Raise the oven temperature to 425º F and line another rimmed sheet pan with parchment.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl. Add in the cold butter and use a fork to work the mixture into small pebbles. Pour in 1 1/4 cup coconut cream (see note**) and mix until a rough dough forms. It will be quite sticky.
  • Transfer the dough to a heavily floured work surface and dust the top with more flour. Use your palms to shape the dough into a 1 inch thick rectangle. Use a benchsracper or spatula to fold the dough over itself, dusting with flour underneath to prevent sticking. Reform the the rectangle and repeat this process 4 more times.
  • Form the dough into a square (about 9-10 in) and cut into 9 squares. Place on the sheet pan and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp coconut cream and honey (or maple syrup) and brush over the chilled biscuits. Sprinkle generously with raw sugar if using and bake for 12-15 minutes or until deeply golden brown on top.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with roasted strawberries and whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

**Coconut cream is the solid white part in a can of full fat, unsweetened coconut milk. Make sure you refridgerate the can for at least 1 hour before making the biscuit dough so the cream is easier to seperate. I find that using 1 cup of solid white cream plus 1/4 cup of the liquid underneath yields the best results.
