Pint Fresh strawberries; washed, sliced  
/4 Cup Sugar  
/2 Cup Butter; plus  
Teaspoon Butter  
3/4 Cup Flour; plus  
Tablespoon Flour  
/4 Cup Cocoa powder  
Teaspoon Baking powder  
Pinch Salt  
/4 Cup Whole chocolate milk  
Scoops Vanilla Bean Ice Cream −; (lg scoops)  
Powdered sugar; in shaker  
In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar. Using a fork,  
lightly mash the berries. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven  
to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon of the butter. In a  
mixing bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder together. Add the  
remaining sugar and mix well. Add the remaining butter and work it into the  
dry ingredients, using your hands, until the mixture resembles coarse  
crumbs. Fold in the chocolate milk. The dough will be sticky. Dust your work  
surface with 1 tablespoon of the flour. Turn the dough onto the floured  
surface. Gently fold each side towards the center. Pick up the dough and  
dust the work surface with the remaining tablespoon flour. Return the dough  
to the floured surface and fold each side towards the center again. Turn the  
dough over and lightly press it out to 1−inch thickness. Cut the biscuits  
using a 2 1/4−inch round cookie cutter. Place them on the baking sheet and  
bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool  
completely. To assemble, cut the biscuits in half. Place a scoop of the ice  
cream in the center of each biscuit. Place the shortcakes in the center of  
each plate. Spoon the strawberries over the shortcakes. Garnish with  
powdered sugar and serve immedietly. This recipe yields 8 servings.
