Ingredients
Strawberries
- 24 large strawberries
Filling
- ½ cup Nutella
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Chocolate shavings or chopped hazelnuts, for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Then slice each strawberry in half lengthwise and trim a small piece from the bottom if necessary so they can stand upright on a flat surface.
- Hollow Out Centers: Use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully hollow out a small portion from the center of each strawberry half to create space for the filling.
- Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the Nutella, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill Strawberries: Transfer the Nutella mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the filling into each hollowed strawberry half, filling them generously but neatly.
- Garnish: Decorate each filled strawberry with chocolate shavings, chopped hazelnuts, or fresh mint leaves as desired for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Chill and Serve: Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes to allow the filling to firm slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese for a richer and creamier filling.
- Assemble the strawberries shortly before serving to maintain the freshest flavor and texture.
- Store any leftovers refrigerated and consume within 24 hours for best quality.
