Gluten Free and Vegan Strawberry Shortcake
Ingredients
For the biscuits
3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut milk, divided

2 teaspoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla 

1 tablespoon ground chia seeds

1 cup white sorghum flour, plus more for dusting

2/3 cup potato starch

1/3 cup tapioca starch

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

5 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, cool enough to be solid but malleable

For the strawberries 2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced or chopped

1 tablespoon maple syrup, or more to taste

2 teaspoons lemon juice

For the cream
1 1/2 cups (or one 13 1/2-ounce can) full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight

1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

1 teaspoon maple syrup, or more to taste (optional)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 
To make the biscuits, combine 3/4 cup coconut milk with the maple syrup and vanilla. Add the ground chia seeds and mix with a fork to make a slurry. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sorghum flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil and mix with a fork until pea-size clumps form. Stir the coconut milk slurry and add it to the bowl. Mix with a fork until just combined. Gently knead the dough a few times around the bowl until it forms a loose ball.
3. Transfer the dough to a surface lightly dusted with sorghum flour. Pat the dough to 3/4-inch thick and cut into 8 (2 1/2-inch) rounds. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining tablespoon of coconut milk. Bake until the biscuits are just golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Best served warm or at the very least on the same day. 


4. While the biscuits are baking and cooling, prepare the strawberries and cream. Toss the strawberries with the maple syrup and lemon juice, and let macerate for at least 10 minutes before serving. 


5. To make the cream, remove the coconut milk from the refrigerator and move it carefully to avoid agitating the contents. Scoop off the cream that has solidified at the top and place it in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a bowl if using a hand mixer. (Save the coconut water at the bottom for smoothies or other dishes.) Beat the coconut cream until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla and maple syrup, if using. (Can refrigerate up to 3 days and re-whip before serving.)
6. To serve, place a biscuit on a plate, pile with berries and cream, top with another biscuit, and add another dollop of cream.

2. To assemble as the seen in the picture, layer the yogurt portion first and let freeze for 30 minutes before adding the strawberry layer, let this second layer freeze for 30 minutes and then add the last yogurt layer. For a quick assembly, pour each layer on top of one another without any freeze time in between and then use a skewer or fork and gently swirl for a swirled Popsicle look.
