I’m a total sucker for raspberry anything. I love them for their tart sweetness, and for the ability to pop the fat ones them onto the ends of my fingers like I’m 9 years old, a la Amelie. It’s usually strawberries that get all the summertime loving- and for good cause, especially when they’re in full, ripe glory- but a subtly sweet sour cream shortcake, a handful of fresh raspberries, and piles of freshly whipped cream makes the absolute perfect summertime dessert. It’s classy and nostalgic and (shhh!) even though the shortcakes are basically quick and easy drop biscuits that don’t take long to prepare, the dessert is impressive-looking no matter what.
