- 3 tbsp (42g) zero sugar honey

- 2 tbsp powdered allulose or zero sugar honey
- 1 cup cold heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Melt the butter and combine it with cold milk, mixing until the butter breaks into small pieces.
- Add eggs, zero sugar honey, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, whisking until combined.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a thick dough.
- Scoop the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart without flattening.
- Bake for 25 minutes until they are deep golden and reach an internal temperature of 190°F. Allow to cool completely on the pan.
- While the biscuits bake, mix the sliced strawberries with allulose or honey and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare whipped cream using your favorite method.
- Split the cooled biscuits, layer with strawberries and whipped cream, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For a lighter whipped cream, consider using a handheld mixer to whip the cream until soft peaks form.
The biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
