Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Combine mangoes, strawberries, and blueberries in a large bowl; add honey and lime juice and toss gently. Cover the bowl; refrigerate filling.
Step 3
Sprinkle gelatin over water in a large heat-proof bowl; set aside until blooms, about 5 minutes. Place bowl over a pan of simmering water; stir often until dissolved. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until cool, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Beat cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer until cream begins to thicken; add confectioners' sugar, coconut extract, and chilled gelatin. Whip until soft peaks form; cover the bowl and refrigerate whipped cream.
Step 5
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, lime zest, poppy seeds, and salt in a large bowl; cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Transfer dough to a floured work surface; knead until it comes together. Roll out to a ½-inch thickness; cut shortcakes with a 3-inch round biscuit cutter. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool slightly; halve each cake horizontally.
Step 7
Spoon fruit filling on bottom halves of each cake. Spoon or pipe whipped cream over fruit; top with remaining biscuit halves.
