30 minutes or less Serves:
Makes 16 filled strawberries
Ingredients:
16 large strawberries, washed and hulled 1 tub | 275 g Tre Stelle® Mascarpone 1/2 cup | 125 mL whipping cream 3 tbsp | 45 mL granulated sugar 1 tsp | 5 mL freshly grated orange zest 1/2 tsp | 2 mL vanilla extract Toasted pecans or grated chocolate for garnish | optional
Instructions:
With a small sharp knife, cut an “X” almost to the bottom of each strawberry. Gently, with your fingertips, spread each strawberry apart to make "petals". Set aside or refrigerate until ready to fill. In a medium sized bowl, beat the Mascarpone and whipping cream until thick and creamy. Add the sugar, orange zest and vanilla; continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Spoon the cream into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the cream into the strawberries. Alternately, gently spoon scant teaspoons of filling into berries. Sprinkle with toasted pecans or grated chocolate if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
