Strawberries In Snow Food

STRAWBERRY SNOW

Steps:

• Puree strawberries in a food processor or blender.
• Combine strawberry puree, egg whites and sugar in a bowl and beat until stiff and glossy.
• Add vanilla to cream, and whip mixture until peaks form.
• Gently fold cream mixture into strawberry mixture.
• Spoon into a serving bowl and garnish with strawberry slices and mint (if desired).
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
• This can be made a day ahead. Good luck keeping everyone else in the house out of it.
• Note: A recent reviewer had trouble getting the mixture to set like a pudding. I should have stated that this recipe does not work if you beat the egg whites separately. The strawberry puree, egg whites and sugar need to be beaten together for this to work properly. I know this only because I tried it the other way once by mistake.

STRAWBERRIES IN THE SNOW

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar together. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

STRAWBERRY SANTAS

Steps:

• For the frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the mascarpone and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the mixture is thick and smooth. Using a spatula, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small star piping tip.
• For the Santas: Using a paring knife, cut off the leaf-end of each strawberry to make a flat surface. Cut a 1/2- to 3/4-inch piece from the pointed end of each strawberry and reserve as the hats.
• Place the strawberries, wide-side down, on a work surface. Pipe a 3/4-inch-high swirl of frosting on each strawberry. Place the hats on top and pipe a small ball of frosting on top of the hats. Press two chocolate chips, pointed-sides inward, into the swirl of frosting to make eyes.

STRAWBERRY SNOWBALL COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Beat the butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl, then add to the butter mixture and beat until combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

• Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop and place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies until golden brown on the bottoms, 13 to 15 minutes.
• For the strawberry sugar dust: Meanwhile, pulse the strawberries in a food processor until it forms a powder. Add the powdered sugar and pulse until combined.
• Roll the warm cookies in the strawberry powdered sugar and transfer to wire racks to cool. Roll in the strawberry powdered sugar again, if necessary, after cooled.
