Dessert
Torani Mixed Berry Shortcakes with Orgeat (Almond) Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
Berries
1/2 cup Torani Blackberry syrup
3 pints mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and/or blackberries)
Shortcake
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
8 Tbsp. butter, chilled and cut into pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream
Orgeat Whipped Cream:
1/4 cup Torani Orgeat (Almond) syrup
3 cups whipping cream
Instructions
Preheat the over to 450 F. Slice the strawberries and mix with the rest of the berries and the Blackberry syrup. Set aside. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. While pulsing, add all but 1 tablespoon of cream. Turn out onto a floured surface and press the dough together. Roll out to a thickness of 1/2 inch and cut circles with a biscuit cutter. Brush the tops with the remaining cream and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. To serve, whip the whipping cream to soft peaks and mix in the Orgeat syrup. Split the biscuits and fill with the berries and the flavored whipped cream.
Notes: This colorful dessert would be equally welcome at a seated diner or a backyard barbecue.
