If your Valentine’s Day involves entertaining for a crowd, this is a fantastic dessert that will do just that! Strawberries may not be at the height of their season, even here in California, but if you roast them with a little vanilla paste and sugar and drizzle of over some high-quality, strawberry ice cream (yep, splurge for the Hagen-Daz) they are sublime!

The best part of this recipe are the light and flakey biscuits, similar to the texture of a scone. When serving this for Valentine’s Day I like to cut them out in a heart shape, really adds to the charm. Enjoy!

- Then create a well in the center of your flour mixture and pour the egg/cream mixture into it, and then stir with a wooden spoon until a dough develops.
- Then with floured hands, grab dough and transfer to a floured surface. Roll out to ½ (13 mm) inch thick and cut into 8 heart shapes with a heart shaped cookie cutter.
- Place hearts facing out, creating a decorative circle and leave room in the center for the 8th heart.
- Brush hearts with heavy cream and top with a sprinkle of raw sugar.
- Bake for 35-40 mins until strawberries are bubbling and biscuits are golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly for 10 minutes to allow sauce to thicken a bit.
- Then scoop out 2-3 small scoops of strawberry ice cream, place in a shallow bowl, spoon strawberry sauce over the ice cream and then top with a biscuit.
