Description
You can skip the bourbon and reduce the confectionaries sugar to make the whipped cream family-friendly. But the adults-only version is something special.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 1/2 cups fresh sweet cherries, pitted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch clove
- For the Sweet Biscuit:
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 5 Tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- For the Bourbon Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2–3 Tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon bourbon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Add the heavy cream and mix just until the batter comes together.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cherries, cinnamon and clove.
- Pour the cherries into the bottom of the serving dish (I used a stone pie dish, but a glass or metal square pan would work too), spreading into an even layer (or two).
- Use your hands to divide the dough into 4 even pieces and shape into a ball, flatten them slightly and place over the fruit. Or if you can roll it out using some flour to help with the stickiness, cut into circles with a biscuit cutter and lay over the top.
- Bake for 40 – 45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- In a clean bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and whip at high speed until you get soft peaks. Add the confectioners sugar and bourbon, whip just a minute more to incorporate it in.
- Serve on top and enjoy!
