Talk about a scrumptious dessert! Wait til you see the magic that takes place when you pair shortcut frozen biscuits with yummy banana-whipped cream and praline topping and call it Banana Shortcakes with Candied Nuts!

What You'll Need

  • 6 large frozen biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 2 small bananas
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream

What to Do

  1. Brush frozen biscuit tops with melted butter; sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon sugar. Bake biscuits according to package directions.
     
  2. Meanwhile, slice bananas, and toss with lemon juice. Place half banana slices in small bowl, and mash until smooth; reserve remaining banana slices.

Notes

We used praline-style pecans as a topping for these shortcakes, but feel free to substitute other candied nuts or toffee bits as you desire.
