Description
A delightful and festive treat perfect for any celebration!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch brownies (store-bought mix or homemade)
- Fresh strawberries
- Whipped cream or frosting of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if making homemade brownies)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: If using a store-bought mix, follow the instructions on the package. For homemade brownies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix together butter, sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool completely. Cut them into small squares, approximately the size of the base of a strawberry.
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries. Cut the tops off to create a flat surface.
- Assemble: Place a dollop of whipped cream or frosting on each brownie square. Add a strawberry, cut-side down, on top of the whipped cream. Add a small dot of whipped cream on the pointed end of the strawberry to resemble a Santa hat.
- Optional Dusting: Lightly dust with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
Notes
- For added flavor, drizzle melted chocolate over the brownie bites before adding the strawberries.
- Use piping tools for a cleaner, more precise application of whipped cream.
- If making whipped cream from scratch, consider adding a touch of almond extract for a unique flavor twist.
- Experiment with different brownie flavors, such as mint or caramel, for variations.
