Instructions
Berries
Combine the blueberries and strawberries in a small bowl and gently stir in the sugar.
Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Shortcake Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form and then transfer to a medium bowl.
Add the buttermilk and stir to combine. The dough will be very crumbly. Transfer to a clean work surface and, using your hands, gently flatten until the dough is about ½ inch thick. Cut into Mickey shapes using a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter. Re-roll scraps if needed.
Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes.
Whipped Cream
In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla.
Beat on medium-high speed until the cream reaches soft peaks.
Assembly
Place one of the shortcake biscuits on a plate. Add a scoop of whipped cream and a scoop of berries.
