For an extra touch of elegance, consider using a star-shaped piping tip to create decorative swirls of cream on top of the shortcakes. If you don't have coconut extract on hand, a splash of coconut rum can provide a similar tropical essence to the whipped cream. Feel free to experiment with other fruits in the filling, such as raspberries or peaches, to customize the recipe to your preferences.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
02
StepCombine mango, strawberries, and blueberries in a large bowl. Toss gently with honey and lime juice. Cover fruit filling and refrigerate.
03
StepSprinkle gelatin over water in a large heatproof bowl. Let bloom, 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. Beat cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer. When cream begins to thicken, add confectioners' sugar, coconut extract, and gelatin. Whip until soft peaks form; cover cream and refrigerate.
04
StepWhisk flour, sugar, baking powder, lime zest, poppy seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and buttermilk in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Knead on a floured work surface until dough comes together. Roll to 1/2 inch thickness; cut shortcakes with a 3-inch round biscuit cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet.
05
StepBake shortcakes in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool slightly; halve each cake horizontally.
06
StepSpoon fruit filling on bottom halves of each cake. Spoon or pipe cream evenly over fruit. Top each with remaining biscuit halves.
