2tspbaking powder
1/4cupMaple syrup
To assemble

4-6Fresh strawberriessliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200deg C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Whisk flour, baking powder and maple syrup in a bowl until crumbly. Add the coconut cream and gently fold until well combined (don't overmix.) Allow the mixture to sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
Scoop the mixture to create 4 circular shortcakes on the baking tray (about 2-3cm high with a 6-7cm diameter.) Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
Using electric beaters/mixer, blender (or a fork by hand) whip the coconut cream and maple syrup together until smooth, light and fluffy. (If beating the coconut cream by hand don't worry if it's not super light & fluffy it will still taste delicious as it is!)
To assemble; Carefully slice the shortcakes horizontally, layer with strawberry slices, a dollop of whipped coconut cream and place the lid on top.
