Strawberry Yogurt Shortcakes

Our best strawberry shortcake recipe has been loved by Betty fans for decades. Fluffy Bisquick shortcakes, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries—yum!

Adding sugar to the strawberries draws out the juices from the fruit, creating a sweet and fruity syrup that soaks into the shortcakes, infusing them with both moisture and flavor.

When whipping cream, start by placing the bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes first. The colder the cream, the faster it will whip.&nbsp;

In a time crunch? Use canned whipped topping instead of making it from scratch.

With just a few ingredients, you can create this delicious strawberry shortcake recipe.Granulated Sugar: Sugar sweetens both the biscuits and the strawberries, drawing out their juices, for a moist and intensely flavorful shortcake. Our tests confirmed that this added sweetness and juiciness is key to the perfect strawberry shortcake.Strawberries: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, in-season strawberries. While we tested with frozen berries, fresh strawberries provide a superior result, avoiding the mushiness that can occur when frozen berries thaw.Bisquick: This recipe was designed for <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/products/bisquick/bisquick-original">Original Bisquick</a>, simplifying both the ingredient list and prep, while delivering the iconic flavor this recipe is famous for.Heavy Whipping Cream: The high fat content of heavy whipping cream is essential for creating the airy whipped cream that complements the strawberries and biscuits.Other Ingredients You’ll Need: We use 2% milk and salted butter to add moisture and richness to the shortcake biscuits. Feel free to experiment with different milks or creams; higher fat content will result in richer, more tender (crumbly) shortcakes.

Recipe Ingredients 

Here’s the equipment you’ll need for your strawberry shortcake recipe to turn out beautifully.Mixing Bowls: Grab a medium bowl for the strawberries and sugar and a large bowl to make the shortcake dough. A small bowl is useful for whipping the cream.Cookie Sheet: Our extensive recipe testing shows shiny metal, uncoated cookie sheets (without sides) or rimmed baking pans (with a short lip), work the best to brown the tops and sides of the shortcakes without burning the bottoms.Electric Mixer: A hand mixer or stand mixer is recommended for quickly and easily whipping the cream.Other Equipment You’ll Need: Dry and liquid measuring cups, spoons, paring knife, rubber spatula, and a sharp knife with serrated edge to cut the shortcakes in half.

Cookware You’ll Need

Here’s how easy it is to make strawberry shortcakes. Refer to the recipe for the complete instructions.<h3>1. Cut and Prep the Strawberries</h3>Cut the berries with a paring knife into 1/4-inch thick slices. Gently mix with the sugar.<h3>2. Mix and Shape the Dough</h3>Use a spoon to mix the dough until soft. Scoop portions (about 1/3 cup each) onto a baking sheet. Leave at least 3 inches between each to allow room to expand.<h3>3. Bake the Shortcakes</h3>Bake until golden brown—this indicates they're perfectly fluffy inside. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.<h3>4. Beat Whipping Cream</h3>Beat the heavy whipping cream until thick enough to hold soft peaks that droop over when you turn off the mixer and lift the beaters. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula a couple times while mixing, to be sure all the cream gets whipped.<h3>5. Cut and Fill the Shortcakes</h3>Cut the cooled shortcakes in half horizontally, with a serrated knife. Layer the bottom halves with whipped cream and strawberries. Top with the remaining halves, adding more whipped cream and strawberries. Enjoy!

With just a small change or two, you can create a fun twist or a completely new dessert each time you make this strawberry shortcake recipe.Swap the Fruit: Our fans recommend mixed berries, sliced peaches, or blueberries in place of the strawberries.Flavor the Shortcakes: Stir 2 teaspoons grated lemon, lime, or orange zest or 3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger in with the Bisquick.Flavor the Fruit or Cream: Stir 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla or orange liquor into the strawberry mixture or add it to the whipping cream, just as it’s about to form soft peaks.Add a Garnish: Top with a spring of fresh mint or basil, or sprinkle with some lemon zest. Joanwilliams says, “I always add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top. It adds just a little bit of flavor to the whipped cream. Mmmm.”Serving a crowd?

Store up to 2 days. Shortcakes will be slightly crumblier than when first baked.<h3>Freezer</h3>Prepare shortcake as directed in make-ahead directions. Wrap and freeze for up to 48 hours. To bake, unwrap and bake frozen dough as directed in Step 5, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.<h3>Reheating Leftover Shortcakes</h3>Place a shortcake biscuit on a microwavable plate.

Why Betty Users Love This Recipe

To ensure tender, moist shortcakes, follow these helpful tips developed in our test kitchens.Accurate Measuring: Spoon Bisquick into the measuring cup; scooping with the measuring cup directly from the container can lead to over-measuring. Use a liquid measuring cup (glass or plastic with a spout) for the milk.Gentle Mixing: Mix the dough with a spoon just until it comes together. Overmixing, or using an electric mixer, activates the gluten in the Bisquick, resulting in tough shortcakes.

How can I prevent dry and tough shortcake biscuits?

Our test kitchen's extensive shortcake research revealed these key tips for perfectly baked shortcakes.Accurate Oven Temperature: Oven temperatures can fluctuate over time. For consistent results, use an oven thermometer placed in the center of your oven while preheating to ensure it reaches 425°F. Adjust your oven's temperature dial accordingly so you’re baking at 425°F.Use a Shiny Cookie Sheet: If your cookie sheet is dark from years of cooking spray buildup, or has an alternative finish, such as dark, nonstick pans, the bottoms of the shortcakes will brown too quickly before the tops turn golden brown.&nbsp;

Why are my shortcakes burnt?

Classic strawberry shortcake, like this one, uses sweetened biscuits, split, and filled with strawberries and whipped cream. It’s called shortcake, not because the biscuits are flat, but because they contain a high proportion of fat to flour, which results in a rich and crumbly texture, like biscuits.Angel food cake—another common choice for serving with strawberries and whipped cream—has a very different texture than classic shortcake. Angel food cake has a light, spongy texture. Either can be layered with fruit and whipped cream to become a yummy dessert.

What is strawberry shortcake made of?

Yes, the batter should be thick. While it’s called “cake,” classic shortcake is made with sweetened biscuits. So, you can expect a thick dough to form, rather than a thinner batter, like when making a cake. It will hold its shape when scooped with a spoon onto the cookie sheet before being baked.

Should my shortcake batter be thick?

Cinnamon, sugar and apples are about as autumnal as a dessert can get. So why not combine everyone’s favorite cinnamon-sugar cookie, snickerdoodles, with apple cobbler? That was the thought that inspired this easy, crowd-size dessert, and thanks to the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens, this mashup works like a charm. The cookie dough crust bakes up cobbler style with a slight chewy top, fluffy center and a perfectly caramely bottom where the spiced apple mixture melds with the crust. So, you end up with deluxe apple cobbler topped with a snickerdoodle cookie crust. The only thing this dessert for 12 really needs is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Serve this warm from the oven, so your ice cream gets a little bit melty, and don’t be surprised if someone tries to lick their plate clean.

snickerdoodle apple cobbler

Granny Smith apples were used in developing this recipe, but McIntosh, Braeburn, Honeycrisp or any other type of baking apple will do just fine. Baking apples are those that are firm enough to keep their shape in the heat of the oven, so your dessert doesn’t turn out mushy. Baking apples can be tart or sweet, so you can pick the one that best suits your tastes.

There’s no need to peel the apples used in this dessert, unless you prefer to do so.


When adding your topping, use a cookie scoop to make portioning cookie dough quick and consistent.


Cobblers are a classic American baked dessert made with fruit. Some are encased in pastry, pie-style, while others just get topped with biscuits or streusel. They’re cousins of other easy fruit desserts, like crisps, crumbles, betties, grunts, slumps, pandowdies and fools.

Apple cobbler is easier to make than ever with a little help from the slow cooker and Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ cake mix!

slow cooker apple cinnamon cobbler

Apples best for baking are Gala, Granny Smith, Jonathan and Jonagold.

If you love a dump cake, this clever cobbler recipe is for you! It uses a similar approach – apples, sugar and spice are combined in a baking dish and topped with a butter-cake mixture – except in this case, your baking dish is a slow cooker. As strange as that may sound, this recipe actually works beautifully. As the cake mix bakes in the steamy environment of a slow cooker it develops a soft, biscuity texture – just like your favorite cobbler. And the fact that this recipe relies on a slow cooker makes it perfect for those early autumn days when the weather is still warm. So, give this slow-cooker apple cobbler recipe a try when the market is loaded with fresh fall apples and you have a hankering for a baked apple dessert!

It’s even easier than pie!  Bake tempting cobbler the easy way with cherry pie filling.  It’s perfect baked under a tender, flaky crust.

cherry cobbler

Before the introduction of refrigerated transportation, only locally grown produce was available to most Americans.  This was reflected in their choice of desserts.  Cherry cobblers were a Midwestern favorite, apple and blueberry cobblers were enjoyed in the North, and peaches graced cobblers of the South.

Did You Know...             

Serve warm cobbler with cream, ice cream or whipped cream.

Serve With                  

Because ovens generally take ten minutes to preheat, heating the filling and the oven at the same time is a convenient dovetailing method.  Also, if cobbler fillings aren’t heated before the dough is added, the dough may still have many uncooked spots after baking.

Recipe meets Kitchen Tested criteria.  Reviewed as part of project  MSO-5941 BC Audit 200 recipes

We’ve created hundreds of cobbler recipes in our test kitchens, learning the keys to creating a blackberry cobbler you can be proud of. The ingredients are simple.Blackberries: Fresh blackberries hold their shape during baking. Frozen berries taste great but have a softer texture when baked. If using frozen, be sure to thaw and drain the berries before adding the sugar—you don’t want blackberry soup.Sugar: We have found that 1 cup of sugar is the perfect amount regardless of the blackberry’s sweetness level. We prefer using granulated sugar—it lets the blackberry flavor shine through.Baking Powder: This is the only leavening agent that works in our blackberry cobbler recipe, adding the lift when baked, for a flaky, light cobbler texture.Other Ingredients You’ll Need: All-purpose flour, salt, milk, butter. Optional toppings: Cream, whipped cream or iced cream.

Recipe Ingredients

Only basic equipment is needed to make our blackberry cobbler recipe.Bowls: A medium bowl is needed for mixing the berries and sugar, while a large bowl works well for the cobbler batter.Square Baking Pan: We found for the best ratio of fruit to flaky cobbler topping, an 8-inch pan works the best. The metal absorbs the heat, creating golden brown, flaking topping. A 9-inch square pan can be substituted for this blackberry cobbler recipe; however, the cobbler will appear shorter as the ingredients are spread over a larger area.Other Equipment You’ll Need: Liquid and dry measuring cups, measuring spoons, mixing spoon.

Here are our top tips for making the best blackberry cobbler.<h3>1. Make the Blackberries with Syrup</h3>Allow the fresh (or thawed and drained frozen) blackberries to sit with the sugar to draw the berry juice out, creating a sweet syrup for the perfectly-moist baked cobbler.<h3>2. Mix the Cobbler Batter</h3>For the best results, always <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/ingredients/measuring-ingredients">measure ingredients accurately</a>. Stir together the dry ingredients and the milk. Then add the melted butter, stirring just until blended. Pour the batter in the bottom of the pan and spoon the blackberry mixture on top.<h3>3. Bake and Serve</h3>When the batter is golden brown, this blackberry cobbler recipe is done. Use a large serving spoon to scoop some of the fruit with the biscuit-like topping into serving bowls. We love it served with any one of the suggested toppings, as the dairy allows the blackberry flavor to shine while making the topping taste extra indulgent.

How to Make Blackberry Cobbler

Try any of these simple ways to make our easy blackberry cobbler recipe your own.Mixed Berry Cobbler: Substitute 1 cup of fresh or thawed and drained frozen raspberries for 1 cup of the blackberries.Spiced Blackberry Cobbler: Our fans tell us they like to add spices to cobbler for added flavor. We suggest adding 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or ground ginger in with the flour to evenly distribute the spice throughout the batter.Blackberry-Almond Cobbler: Stir 1/4 cup sliced almonds in with the flour.

Variations for Blackberry Cobbler

Here are the best methods we’ve tested for storing leftover blackberry cobbler.RefrigeratorWrap the pan with leftover cobbler tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Moisture from the fruit will continue to soften the topping, but it will still taste delicious when you’re ready to enjoy it.Reheating Leftover Blackberry CobblerSpoon a serving of blackberry cobbler into a microwavable serving bowl. Cover loosely and microwave on medium (50%) for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until warm. Microwaves are attracted to sugar, so be careful when eating, as the fruit mixture will be hotter than the topping, due to its sugar content.

Use these tips to help create blackberry cobbler with the desired consistency.Fruit Mixture Sat Too Long: Only let the blackberries and sugar sit for 20 minutes or the sugar will continue to draw juice out of the berries, creating too much liquid for the dessert.Frozen Berries Used Incorrectly: Thaw and drain frozen berries to remove excess moisture from them before mixing with the sugar or they can make a soupy-textured cobbler.

Why is my blackberry cobbler soupy?

Yes—we love doing this for a crowd. Simply double all of the ingredients and use a 13x9-inch pan. The bake time should be the same as for the original recipe.

Can I double the recipe?

We’ve tested this recipe with various amounts of fruit, and while it can be tempting to add more when the blackberries are plentiful, we’ve found that more doesn’t make the dessert better. It throws off the ratio of topping to fruit.

Can I add more fruit to the recipe?

Crisp? Cobbler? Crumble? All of these desserts are made with fresh fruit and a crisp topping. Crisps and crumbles are the closest relatives, as both are made with a streusel-like topping that’s layered over fruit and baked. Some argue that a crisp should include a whole grain, such as oats, in the topping, but the terms are often used interchangeably. A cobbler tops fruit with biscuits or a biscuit-like batter, giving it a cobbled appearance.

In this easy Blueberry Cobbler with Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix recipe, the blueberries are added last, but as it bakes, the biscuit dough will rise toward the top of the dish.
