Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese with the dry strawberry jello and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick mix, milk, and sugar or Fruitose until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead 10 times.
- Roll out the dough into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle, like a pie crust.
- Spread the jello mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Carefully roll the dough like a jelly roll to form a log.
- Pinch the ends to seal the roll.
- Cut the rolled dough into 12 one-inch slices and arrange them in a greased baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes until browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough mixture. If you don’t have Fruitose, regular sugar works just as well. To achieve a more pronounced strawberry flavor, you can mix in some fresh strawberries or a few drops of strawberry extract into the jello mixture. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ingredients from other American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these tangy swirled biscuits warm, possibly with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness. They also pair excellently with a fresh fruit salad or alongside a cup of tea for an afternoon treat. For a unique twist, try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making them a perfect dessert option.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to regain their crispness. You can also microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but be careful not to overheat as they may become chewy.
