Ingredients
For the blackberry shortcake:
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons fat-free margarine
¼ cup nonfat milk
2 tablespoons egg substitute
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1½ pints fresh blackberries
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons citrus-flavored vodka
Juice of 1 freshly squeezed lime

For the chantilly:
½ cup nonfat milk
Minced zest of ¼ orange
½ tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 package dried nonfat whipped topping mix

For the cilantro oil:
⅓ cup Filippo Berio Olive Oil
1 teaspoon honey
¼ cup loosely packed cilantro
Pinch of salt
Preparation
To make the shortcake:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and allspice in a mixing bowl. Mix in the margarine and set aside.

In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the milk, egg substitute, and vanilla. Stir this mixture into the flour mixture until thoroughly combined; the dough will be very sticky. Cover and refrigerate or freeze the dough for at least 20 to 30 minutes, until firm enough to handle.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and place on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove the shortcakes from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

Meanwhile, combine the blackberries, honey, vodka, and lime juice in a small bowl and marinate berries for 1 hour.

To make the chantilly:
Place the milk, orange zest, and mint in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat and let infuse for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a mixing bowl and refrigerate until cool. Add the whipped topping mix to the mixing bowl and beat until stiff.

To make the cilantro oil:
Place the ingredients in a blender and purée until emulsified.

To serve:
To assemble the dessert, cut each shortcake in half crosswise and place the bottoms on serving plates. Spoon the berry mixture on each shortcake bottom and top with ¼ of the chantilly. Place the top half of the shortcakes over the chantilly and drizzle each serving with 2 teaspoons of the cilantro oil.
