1

Shortcakes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in HERSHEY’S CHIPITS Cream Cheese Flavoured Chips.

3

Whisk together egg, 3/4 cup (175 mL) buttermilk and vanilla in medium bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture with fork until mixture forms ragged dough.

4

Turn out dough onto lightly floured work surface; pat dough into large round about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Cut out eight rounds using 3-inch (7.5 cm) round cookie cutter, rerolling scrapes as needed. Transfer to parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining buttermilk.

Tip

Alternatively, shape dough into large rectangle and simply cut into squares.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

Filling: Toss together strawberries and HERSHEY’S Strawberry Flavoured Syrup in medium bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Beat cream using handheld electric mixer in another medium bowl until stiff peaks form.

Top each bottom half with 2 tbsps (30 mL) strawberry cream, 2 tbsps (30 mL) strawberries mixture and 1 tbsp (15 mL) HERSHEY’S CHIPITS Cream Cheese Flavoured Chips. Cap with top halves. Garnish with remaining strawberry cream, remaining strawberries mixture and remaining HERSHEY’S CHIPITS Cream Cheese Flavoured Chips.
