Sweetened strawberries are served on a “scooter”, a cross between a biscuit and cake, made especially for serving low carb strawberry shortcake. The “scooters” are truly both cake and biscuit like, spongy yet crumbly.
As most of you know, I am a cake girl, but decided to direct this recipe toward the combination of a biscuit and cake to satisfy everyone’s preference.

The Wait for Oregon Strawberries
Our farmer’s market, held on Saturdays, is the only place nearby to purchase seasonal, local produce but is quite minute this year. There had been some traveling to fetch the sweetest of strawberries…lots and lots of traveling on my mom’s and sister’s part, but we finally got ahold of the first batches of Oregon strawberries.
After our yearly, full day of jam making, I couldn’t wait to get to work on making a great new recipe to share with you all.
This was the first year we made a good portion of sugar free strawberry freezer jam, which I can’t wait to share and get layered inside of a cake!
How to make Low Carb Strawberry Shortcake
Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set the oven to 400 degrees.
Wash, remove stems and drain the strawberries. If adding a sweetener, do so now. One teaspoon of sweetener to every cup of strawberries, unless you like very sweet desserts, then double the amount of sweetener.
Measure or weigh all the dry ingredients together and transfer to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or large bowl with a hand mixer. Mix the ingredients together.
To the dry ingredients, add the room temperature butter and mix until all the butter is incorporated. Add the room temperature cream cheese and fully combine with dry ingredients.
To the dry ingredients, add one egg at a time, then add the heavy cream.
Divide the dough in to thirds and then halves, making 6 balls. Form the balls into three-inch by one-inch cylinders.
Place each cylinder on prepared baking pan and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the “scooters” just begin to brown.
While the “scooters” are baking, whip the heavy cream.
Once the “scooters” have cooled, cut in half using a serrated knife. Spoon the strawberries over the top and top with whipped cream.
