Watch as Better Homes and Gardens shows you how to create cherry berry shortcake stars for Indepdence Day! Create these 4th of July desserts by mixing together 1-1/2 cups of tart red cherries, 1-1/2 cups of blueberries, and 1/3 cup of sugar. For the shortcake recipe portion of this holiday dessert, add two cups of flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add 1/3 cup of butter and cut into the mixture using a pastry cutter until it is coarse. In a separate small bowl, add an egg, 1/2 cup of whipping cream, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of chopped tart red cherries, and 1/4 cup of chopped blueberries. Add this to the flour mixture and stir with a fork. Once everything is evenly combined, place the mixed berry shortcake onto a floured surface and pat the dough until it's 3/4 inch thick. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to give the shortcake dessert a festive shape. Make sure to dip the cutter into flour between each cut so no sticking occurs. Place the shortcakes on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool these easy desserts on a baking sheet while turning your attention to the vanilla whipped cream recipe, our airy alternative to a heavier frosting. Combine 1/2 cup of whipping cream and one teaspoon of vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat the whipped cream recipe until a small peak forms. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a quick and easy dessert to eat under the fireworks this Independence Day!
