Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

Mix together strawberries, blueberries, and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until evenly coated; set aside.

Step 3

Mix together cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a second bowl until smooth; set aside.

Step 4

Mix together baking mix, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter in a third bowl until smooth; pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown on top, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow shortcake to cool in the dish.

Step 6

Spread berry mixture and juice over cooled shortcake, saving a few pretty berries aside for garnish. Press down gently on the berries with a spatula to allow juices to soak into cake. Spread cream cheese mixture over fruit and garnish with reserved berries.

Step 7

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
