Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Beat heavy cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; set aside.
3
Beat cream cheese, milk, 1 ½ teaspoons strawberry jam, and confectioners' sugar in a separate bowl; fold in whipped cream. Cover the bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve.
4
Whisk flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Beat buttermilk and egg yolk together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just mixed.
6
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5 to 6 turns. Pat or roll dough into a ½-inch thick round. Cut 1-inch biscuits using a biscuit cutter; place on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Halve biscuits. Skewer 1 biscuit bottom, 1 strawberry slice, and 1 biscuit top onto each toothpick.
