Cut the biscuits in half and cover the bottom half with berries. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with some of the berry juice. Cover with the top half of the biscuit or lean it on the side. Arrange on serving plates or on a platter and serve.
Whipped Cream:

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand-held mixer until a foam forms. Add the sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until soft peaks form.

Heavy cream is just what it says. It will say heavy cream on the carton. Half-and-half is half milk and half cream. The heavy cream will make the dessert richer tasting.

Sounds great! I really enjoy the Neelys' show. There's one thing I'm not sure about though, because I'm not much of a Baker. I'm more of a Cook. Anyway, when a recipe calls for "Heavy Cream", what exactly do they mean? Is it Half and Half like you use in coffee, or what?
Thanks......

I seen this the other day on their show and I have a 2 yr old who loves fruit, so I had to make it. I of course substituted the liqueur with regular pulp free orange juice and I used a tiny bit more then the recipe calls for as well as a little more honey but I stuck with the 1/4 cup of sugar and it came out amazing.
The whip cream was amazing as well, It was a HUGE hit.
Only thing I had trouble with was finding the sanding sugar, so I just used a lil regular sugar before baking then when it came out after I put a tiny sprinkle again of sugar and that worked out great.
I love the idea of using the can of biscuits, it was a nice short cut for me with 3 kids and yes the orange flecks are the butter if you get the ones that are butter biscuits.
Thanks so much we will definitely have this again!
