The most delicious dessert I've ever had, deep fried strawberry shortcakes that are rolled in cinnamon sugar and loaded with berries and fresh whipped cream

Peanut or canola oil for frying

2cupsheavy cream
1/3cuppowdered sugaror to taste
1-2pintsstrawberriessliced
1-2tablespoonsugar
Instructions
Heat a large dutch oven over medium heat filled 1/3 full of oil.
Separate the 8 biscuits again making 16.
Add the strawberries and sugar into a dish, stir and set aside. Read more in our fool proof angel food cake post.
Drop in a couple of biscuits at a time, frying for about 30-60 seconds, turning once, then remove to a paper towel lined plate.
Place the cinnamon sugar in a dish and while the fried dough is still warm, roll in the cinnamon sugar.
Repeat until all dough is used.
Meanwhile, whisk (or I use our kitchenaid whisk attachment) the cream until soft peaks form, add the powdered sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
To assemble, top the cinnamon sugar biscuit with whipped cream and berries, or double decker it as shown in the photo.
