    Helpful Tips for Vegan Strawberry Shortcake 

    vegan strawberry shortcake

    Don't Overwhip 

    Make sure to not overwhip the coconut cream mixture. If you overwhip it will split and become runny and break down. So make sure to keep an eye on it as it is in the mixer. 

    Assemble Right Before Serving 

    Don't assemble your shortcakes until you are ready to eat. Otherwise the strawberries and cream will sog up the shortcake. Store the cakes, strawberries, and the whipped coconut cream all separately. 

    Fresh Strawberries 

    Make sure when picking out your fresh strawberries that they are fresh, bright in color, and ripe. Otherwise it can leave a sour flavor to your berries.

    Sweeten Up The Berries 

    Add a little bit of sugar overtop of the sliced strawberries in a bowl. Then refrigerate, and as they sit they will sweeten up the berries. The sugar also breaks down the berries a bit so it will release some juice. 

    Added Fruit 

    You can also use raspberries, blueberries and other fruits to help elevate the flavors of the shortcake. 

    Nuts 

    Add a little crunch by topping with some slivered almonds for a nice crunch factor to the shortcake. 

    Vegan Strawberry Shortcake FAQs

    How long will the shortcakes store for? 

    You will only want to store your shortcake for 1-2 days on the counter. The cake will become dry as it sits, and should be used shortly after it is made. 

    Can I freeze leftover shortcakes? 

    Don't plan on eating all your shortcakes right away? Go right ahead and save the cakes by placing them in an airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw on the counter and then assemble with berries and cream.

    Notes

    • Only assemble as many shortcakes as you are planning on eating, the leftovers will do better stored separately until serving time
    • The coconut cream should be watched while whipping, it may split and then get runny if over whipped.
    • For an added touch of sweetness, you can sprinkle a small amount of sugar overtop and let them sit in the fridge
