Equipment

  • 1 paring knife

Ingredients

  • 6 California Strawberries (the wide fat ones)
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves, washed

For the Sunshine Chantilly Cream

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream well-chilled
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons citrus-coconut flavored rum (for non-alcohol use ⅛ teaspoon of your favorite extract)

Instructions

For The Strawberries:

  • With a flexible paring knife, slice straight down the sides of each berry about ¾ ways down to the base of the stem.
  • Repeat process, moving inward toward until you reach the center. Once completed, gently fold the outside petals outward into a rose shape.

For The Chantilly Cream:

  • In a chilled, medium sized bowl, whip the cream with a electric hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks show.
  • Spoon the cream into individual serving dishes or onto a serving plate. Place Strawberries on top of the cream, and mint leaves to garnish.

Notes

For best results, use the wide short strawberries to get a really pretty rose shape.
