One of my absolute favorite summer desserts is strawberry shortcake…and this keto strawberry shortcake complete with low-carb biscuits truly takes the cake. The biscuits are so light, fluffy, flaky, and buttery…no one will believe how low carb they are. It’s the perfect treat to make for the 4th of July!
The great thing about these keto strawberry shortcakes is they’re each their own individual serving, and you can let people assemble and make their own to suit their preferences. Super fun and delicious, without any unnecessary carbs and sugar.
There is just nothing better than a buttery biscuit stacked high with homemade whipped cream and fresh summer strawberries. Who’s with me?

Alright, now let’s get to making these beautiful low-carb biscuits. They’re surprisingly simple and easy to make. I do highly recommend a food processor or pastry cutter, as well as a biscuit cutter, although there are always makeshift options you can use as well.
For the biscuits, you’ll need:
- almond flour – I always recommend using finely ground, blanched almond flour for best results/appearance
- baking powder/salt
- xanthan gum
- cold butter
- sour cream
- egg
And that’s it! The only other ingredients needed to assemble your keto strawberry shortcake will be heavy whipping cream, and the best strawberries you can find. Put them all together immediately before serving (or let people make their own!) and enjoy!

Ingredients
Biscuits:
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
Whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Chopped fresh strawberries about 2 medium strawberries per shortcake
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to a food processor with cold butter, and pulse until crumbly. There should still be small bits of butter visible. You may also cut the butter in by hand using a pastry cutter.
- Add sour cream and egg to the mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
- Form dough into a ball and place down on a piece of parchment paper. Press down using your hands until dough is about 3/4-inch thick. Press a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter straight down into the dough (don't twist). Repeat until all dough has been used.
- Place cut biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Allow to cool, then slice each biscuit in half.
- In a bowl, beat heavy cream with electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add sweetener and vanilla, and mix again until combined.
- To assemble each shortcake, top half of one biscuit with chopped strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream, then top with the other half biscuit. Top with additional whipped cream and chopped strawberries.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy!
