Ingredients

Units Scale

Biscuits

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose baking mix
  • 3 tbsp confectioners' sugar (for the dough (from 3/4 cup plus 3 Tbsp total))
  • 2/3 cup milk (for the dough (from 2/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp total))
  • 1 tbsp milk (for brushing the tops)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for sprinkling)

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 2 cups whipping cream (cold)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (remaining, for the filling)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Berries

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Combine the baking mix, 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, and 2/3 cup milk in a bowl and mix well.
  2. Shape: Knead the dough about 10 times and roll out to 1/2-inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or glass.
  3. Bake: Arrange on a greased baking sheet, brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon milk, and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake at 450°F for 8 to 10 minutes until golden. Cool.
  4. Make the Filling: Beat the whipping cream to soft peaks. Add the softened cream cheese 1 tablespoon at a time while beating. Blend in the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar and the vanilla.
  5. Combine the Berries: Gently mix all the fruit together.
  6. Assemble: Cut each cooled biscuit in half. Spoon whipped cream onto the bottom half, top with the berry mixture, and cover with the top half of the biscuit.

Notes

Don’t overwork the biscuit dough; knead just enough to bring it together for tender biscuits. Soften the cream cheese fully and add it gradually so the filling stays smooth. Use cold whipping cream. Cool the biscuits completely before filling. Best assembled fresh; the cream cheese filling holds up better than plain whipped cream if you need a little lead time. Store components separately and assemble just before serving.
