Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the berries are evenly coated and allow them to macerate while you prepare the shortcake batter. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth and creamy. Set aside. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a third bowl, whisk together the baking mix, milk, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shortcake is lightly golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the shortcake cool in the dish. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Once the shortcake has cooled, spread the berry mixture evenly over the top, reserving a few attractive berries for garnish. Gently press down on the berries with a spatula to release their juices and allow them to soak into the cake. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the berry layer. Arrange the reserved berries on top for garnish. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set before cutting into squares and serving. (30 minutes)

For an extra burst of flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the berry mixture.
If you don't have marshmallow creme, you can substitute with an equal amount of whipped topping or heavy cream.
Feel free to experiment with other berries, such as raspberries or blackberries.
To prevent the shortcake from becoming soggy, serve it shortly after assembling. Or consider serving the cake and fruit separately so people can assemble their own plate.
