Using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together cream, confectioners' sugar, and extract until stiff peaks form.

To serve, split biscuits in half, spoon whipped cream onto bottom piece, top with a couple spoonfuls of berries, and finish with top half of the biscuit.
Why this Classic Strawberry Shortcakes works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Classic Strawberry Shortcakes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
