    3. Pour in 1 ¼ cups heavy cream and pulse a few more times until dough starts to come together but is still crumbly. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; gather to form 1-inch-thick square. Dip 2-inch round cookie cutter into flour; cut out biscuits from dough, then arrange on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Gather scraps to form another square and cut out remaining biscuits.
    4. Whisk egg and remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream; brush tops of biscuits with mixture, then sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake 22–25 minutes until biscuits are golden. Transfer to wire rack and let stand 15 minutes to cool completely.
    5. Split biscuits in half; dollop with whipped topping, then top with macerated strawberries and juices. Serve.
