Tom’s dad’s birthday is in March, so I offered to bake his favorite dessert for his party. He happily accepted my offer on one condition – that I use Splenda. I’ve tried to bake with Splenda previously, and it’s never really worked out all that well for me, but I decided to give it a whirl again. I scoured the internet for diabetic friendly strawberry shortcake recipe, reading review and review, and eventually decided on one from Food.com. It was SUPER easy and it tastes just as good as the real thing!

Diabetic Friendly Strawberry Shortcake Recipe – My Notes:
- Heart Smart Bisquick is found with the cake mixes, NOT the pancakes mixes.
- I found about 2.5 pints of small strawberries was equal to 6 cups of sliced strawberries. (The other half pint was enough for garnish!)
- I made a double batch of the dough, and it was more than enough cake for this strawberry mixture. Furthermore, I had some left over!
- Since we had to drive with these for 45 minutes, I only did one layer of strawberries and one layer of cream. Anything more would have been too much.
- I used a serrated knife to cut the shortcake in half, and I think a smoother knife would have been better. The cake is SO, SO soft!!
