Ingredients

4 cups sliced strawberries

Shortcake Biscuits

½ cup soy milk
1 ½ teaspoon white vinegar
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup Tofu Cashew Mayo

Sweet Cashew Cream

1 ½ cups raw cashews
½ cup soy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

To Make the Shortcake Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Stir the white vinegar and maple syrup into the soy milk and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the mayonnaise to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.
Add the soy milk mixture and stir just until combined.
Place the dough on a well floured surface. The dough will be sticky.
Pat out the dough to about a 3/4 inch thickness and cut into biscuits with a round cookie cutter or a glass.
Place the biscuits on a parchment lined pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.

To Make the Sweet Cashew Cream

Place the raw cashews in a bowl.
Pour boiling water over the cashews and soak for at least one hour.
Drain and rinse the cashews.
Place the cashew and all the remaining ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

To Assemble the Vegan Strawberry Shortcake

Slice the shortcake biscuits in half.
Spoon sliced strawberries onto the bottom half.
Top the berries with Sweet Cashew Cream.
Place the biscuit top on top of the berries and cream.

Notes

If you don't have a high speed blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec, be sure to soak the cashews before making the Sweet Cashew Cream. Cover the cashews with water and soak them for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain them before proceeding with the recipe.
