Boysenberry Shortcake Recipe

Ingredients

  • Knott’s Berry Farm Biscuit Mix
  • 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
  • 15 oz. can Boysenberries in Light Syrup
  • 2 tbsp. Boysenberry Punch Concentrate

Directions

This recipe requires a little assembly, but not much in the way of cooking. Which is absolutely delightful if you ask me.

Start by preparing the Knott’s Berry Farm Biscuit Mix per package instructions. It’s so simple — combine biscuit mix and water in a bowl and mix with a fork. Bake on greased cookie sheet and let cool.

I made my biscuits slightly smaller than the containers I wanted to use for serving. The do expand slightly during baking.

While biscuits are baking, make boysenberry whipped cream. Mix Cool Whip with 1-2 tablespoons of boysenberry punch concentrate. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. I ended up making more so that I could dip fruit in it.

Drain boysenberries.

Once biscuits are cool, layer biscuits, whipped cream, and boysenberries.

Originally I had planned on serving the boysenberry shortbread in mason jars. However, the size seemed excessive since it needed multiple biscuits and layer upon layer of whipped cream.

Instead, I opted to use vintage glass punch cups. It’s the perfect size for a brunch or tea party. If you are looking for a disposal option for a party, try these disposable punch bowl cups.

The recipe comes together in just minutes, and is perfectly sweet. It’s a lovely treat for your springtime celebrations, like the Boysenberry Festival. Whenever you visit Knott’s Berry Farm, check out Get Away Today for discount tickets.
