Total Time: 30 minutes • Makes: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
- 12 large strawberries
- 3/4 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- Milk chocolate bar, shavings for garnish
DIRECTIONS
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. It’s best to use strawberries that are at room temperature for this recipe.
- With a small paring knife, cut each strawberry in half lengthwise. Cut out a small amount of each berry half to create a “bowl” for the filling. Set aside.
- In a bowl, beat Mascarpone with cream, sugar, and vanilla till smooth. Spoon the filling into a piping bag. Check to make sure the strawberry half is still dry. Dab with a paper towel to dry before filling, if necessary. Pipe the filling into the middle of each berry half.
- Top each filled strawberry half with a little Nutella spread.
- Make the chocolate curls for the garnish. They can be made using a vegetable peeler on a slightly warm chocolate bar for large curls, or a grater for finer textures. Top each strawberry with curls, as desired.
- Best eaten within a few hours.
NOTE: If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag. Just cut off a small portion of one corner of the bag.
