Warm Peach Blueberry Shortcake

I’m taking part in The Lang’s Chocolates Keystone Pantry Allulose Recipe Challenge. For my participation in this recipe challenge, I received a 3 lb. container of Keystone Pantry Allulose to create my recipe. Warm Peach Blueberry Shortcake is a delicious recipe using Allulose. Peaches and blueberries are warmed in a Allulose simple syrup, while home-made shortcakes made with Allulose bake in the oven. Whipped cream is sweetened with Allulose and is the finishing touch on our Warm Peach Blueberry Shortcake.
