Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubes using a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Slowly pour in 3/4 cup whole milk and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming 6 round shortcakes. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: While shortcakes bake, wash and dry 2 cups fresh strawberries. Melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip half of each strawberry into melted chocolate and place on parchment to set.
Step 4: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tsp rosewater, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Step 5: To assemble, slice each shortcake in half horizontally. Layer the bottom halves with sliced fresh strawberries and place chocolate-dipped strawberries on top. Dollop with rosewater whipped cream and crown with the shortcake tops.
