Strawberry Shortcakes on Sour Cream Doughnuts
Have you been to Jelly Modern yet? They have strawberry shortcakes built on sour cream cake doughnuts. With vanilla pastry cream inside. Hell-o. I don’t know if it’s on their regular rotation, but it exemplifies the kind if ingenuity going on in that kitchen. Organic mini donuts?? That may cause a stampede.
Also? This is a pretty bloody brilliant idea for your own kitchen. A cake doughnut is far preferable to those dry, spongy yellow hockey pucks you can buy at the grocery store (can you still?) and if you can’t bring yourself to crank up the oven for some homemade biscuits, you could pick up some (good) doughnuts instead and go to town. Or make some doughnuts yourself. Split, cream, berries, easy.
There are also some pretty fab lemon cream biscuits, if you’re looking for a more traditional strawberry shortcake formula. (I’m thinking they would do well with blueberries, instead.)

This is just such a simple solution. I don’t know why I never thought to reinvent the wheel before!

Hey Julie, I have some cream that went sour-do you think that would work in biscuits? Thanks.

Holy does that look good. I probably gained a pound just looking at the photo though! lol.

I’m putting blueberry shortcakes (on the lemon cram biscuits) on the menu tonight!

Excellent Idea!I detest shortcake but my family loves the dessert, you’ve given me the perfect compromise, thanks for sharing.

I wish you wouldn’t post stuff like this, Julie – I live one door down from Jelly Modern and you are making me very tempted!!!

I love Jelly Modern, but I’ve not had the pleasure of that particular doughnut. I’m partial to the coconut myself.

I think these just may fit the bill for a perfect Canada Day dessert! The colour scheme is a match. Now they only need a drizzle of maple to make them truly Canadian.

That looks super yummy! We might have to make this for the girls day BBQ!
