Chocolate Chip Shortcakes: 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. baking powder 3 tbsp. sugar, divided 4 ounces mini semisweet chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups plus 1 tbsp. heavy or whipping cream
Filling: 3 cups heavy or whipping cream 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup powdered sugar 1 tbsp. instant espresso powder 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
Berries: 1 quart ripe strawberries, rinsed, stemmed and sliced 1/4 cup sugar

Directions
For Shortcakes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, 2 tbsp. sugar and mini chocolate chips in a large bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cream with a fork until a dough starts to form. Add additional cream 1 tbsp. at a time if dough is too dry. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat or roll to 1 1/4 inches thick. Cut out biscuits with a 3 inch biscuit cutter. Transfer biscuits to the prepared pan. Reroll dough scraps and cut out additional biscuits. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 1 tbsp. cream. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp. sugar over biscuits. Bake biscuits 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Transfer biscuits to a rack and cool completely.
For Filling: Beat together the cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, espresso powder and vanilla in a large bowl to soft peaks.
For Berries. Toss sliced berries lightly with sugar in a medium bowl.
To Serve: Split biscuits in half horizontally. Divide the bottom halves of biscuits between 6 plates. Spoon strawberries over. Top the berries with dollops of the filling and place biscuit tops over. Sift powdered sugar over and serve.
Makes about 6 shortcakes.
