Homemade Strawberry Shortcake & Dark Chocolate Whipped in a stack

 ½ cup strawberry preserves
Dark Chocolate Whipped Cream
 ½ cup heavy whipping cream
 1 tbsp sugar
 ¼ cup cocoa powder
Buttermilk Biscuits
 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
 2 tbsp sugar
 1 tbsp baking powder
 ½ tsp salt
 6 tbsp unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
 ½ cup buttermilk

Buttermilk Biscuits:
1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add cubed butter and use fingers to cut into the mixer (or a pastry cutter works too) until pea-size crumbs form. ⠀⠀

2

Pour in buttermilk and stir just until combined. Flour your working area and roll the dough on your counter into a ball. Flatten it to about 1/2 inch thick with a rolling pin. Next, use a biscuit cutter to form 3-inch biscuits (I used a highball glass, and it worked perfectly). Should make about 6-8 biscuits.

3

Brush with heavy cream and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. ⠀

Whipped Cream:
4

While the biscuits are baking, combine the whipped cream, sugar, and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl and combine with an electric mixer (for about 5 minutes) until peaks form. Add sugar according to preference.

Assembly:
5

Once biscuits are cool, slice them in half. Top the bottom half with butter, 1-2 Tablespoons of strawberry preserves, 2 dollops of whipped cream (in that order), and top with other biscuit half. Serve immediately.

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous K Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous Kringle with Gesha Coffee 

While some of us are familiar with wine and cheese pairings, most of us are not as familiar with coffee and food pairings (and I don’t know about you, but I tend to enjoy this combo much more frequently than the former). 

As a tribute to my home state, I attempted to make kringle, and I’ve discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. The one pictured is actually a kringle from an authentic Danish bakery in WI because my first attempts have yet to be successful. And while kringle is good on its own, it’s even better when perfectly paired with a Gesha coffee. 

The reason I went with this choice is because Gesha coffee is almost like a tea. The flavors are complex and boast of sweet, floral notes. Gesha coffee also has a much lighter body than most other coffees. This mild quality works to delicately compliment the buttery and fruity flavors of this pastry, but it won’t entirely overtake the wonderful flavors of the kringle.

Do you have a favorite Gesha coffee? I’ve shared my favorite in the comments below!

When coffee is paired properly, you’re able to taste enhanced flavors of both the coffee and the food. Foods that are buttery, such as this apple tart, are excellent companions. The coffee intensifies and complements the buttery sweetness of the crust, making for a perfect match.
⁣
Try pairing an apple tart with a full-bodied light roast such as Intelligentsia’s Frequency Blend. This blend has tasting notes of dried fruit, almond, and milk chocolate so you get the best of both worlds.
Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee shop — Bradbury’s located in Madison, Wisconsin. This coffee shop turned me into a coffee snob. I’ve yet to find an equivalent bright cup of coffee anywhere else.
⁣
When I was home for the holidays, I bought a bag of their seasonal blend by Ruby’s Colorful Coffees. This blend consists of beans from El Salvador and Ethiopia. I tried these beans with an AeroPress and an espresso machine. I much prefer it as espresso, as Bradbury’s bright & distinguished flavors really pop when properly extracted this way.
