The strawberries are hollowed out and then filled, resulting in a sweet, juicy exterior combined with a smooth, rich interior, creating an appealing contrast in texture and appearance.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces large strawberries fresh and ripe
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream can substitute cream cheese or mascarpone
  • 2 tablespoons sugar optional, to sweeten filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Small paring knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Piping bag or spoon
  • Tray or plate for serving

Method
 

  1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Use a small paring knife to carefully cut a shallow circle around the stem at the top of each strawberry, then gently remove the core to hollow out the interior, creating a cavity for the filling. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or whisk to gently fold the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. Transfer the filling into a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip, or use a spoon if preferred. Carefully pipe or spoon the filling into each hollowed-out strawberry cavity, filling them generously.

  4. Place the filled strawberries upright on a serving tray or plate. Optional: garnish with additional whipped cream, mint leaves, or chocolate shavings for presentation. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to help set the filling.
  5. Serve the strawberries cold, observing the clean, smooth exterior with the filling neatly contained inside. The strawberries should look plump and glossy, with a creamy filling visible at the top.

Fox with excitement! These stuffed strawberries come together in minutes and add a pop of color and sweetness to any table. For an extra special touch, sprinkle a few chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips on top before serving.
