Campfire Delights: Strawberry Shortcake Like Never Before

Imagine yourself surrounded by nature, the sound of crackling flames, and the aroma of sweet treats wafting through the air. You’ve hiked, pitched your tent, and savored a delicious dinner. Now, it’s time for dessert – and we’ve got a game-changer for you!

Strawberry Shortcake, Elevated

Ditch the traditional s’mores and indulge in a campfire strawberry shortcake that will impress your fellow campers. This mouthwatering dessert requires only a few simple ingredients: Bisquick mix, pie tins, strawberries, and whipped cream.

Pre-Camp Prep

Before heading out, prepare your shortcake batter at home by mixing Bisquick, milk, sugar, and melted butter. Spoon the mixture into buttered pie tins and bake in a 425°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Alternatively, try using Crème Fraîche Whipped Cream for an added twist.

Campfire Magic

Once you’re at the campsite, place the pie tins directly onto glowing coals, covering them tightly with foil. Cook for 25 minutes, moving the tins occasionally for even baking. Remove the foil and top with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. The result is a heavenly dessert that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
