Strawberries And Cream Tanghulu Recipes

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Wash and completely dry the grapes and strawberries. Separate the clementine segments and peel off as much pith as possible.
• Stir together the sugar, corn syrup, honey and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan until the sugar is moistened. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until the syrup reaches 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, skewer the fruit without twisting the pieces: Skewer 3 grapes through the long end onto each of 6 skewers. Skewer 2 strawberries through the cut end onto each of 7 skewers. Skewer 3 clementine segments through the rounded side onto each of 3 skewers.
• When the syrup is ready, transfer the saucepan to a heatproof surface or potholder. Carefully tip the pan forward so the syrup pools on one side. Working with one skewer at a time, dip and rotate the fruit in the syrup until completely coated, then gently shake the skewer over the pan to remove any excess syrup. Place the skewer on the prepared baking sheet and let harden, about 10 minutes.
• Repeat with the remaining skewers. As the amount of syrup dwindles, use a spoon to help coat the fruit (see Cook's Note). Enjoy immediately.

Steps:

• Crush 3/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries. Mix with 4 tablespoons softened butter, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 ounce melted white chocolate and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Sandwich 1 heaping teaspoon of the mixture between 2 Trefoils; repeat to make 16 sandwiches. Freeze until firm, 10 minutes. Melt 4 ounces chopped white chocolate with 2 teaspoons coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals; let cool slightly. Dip the sandwich cookies in the chocolate; top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Refrigerate to set.

Steps:

• Place 3 strawberries on a skewer. Boil 2 cups sugar, 1/3 cup corn syrup and 1/4 cup water, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300˚ F on a candy thermometer (the hard-crack stage). Carefully tip the pan and dip the berries in the syrup, turning to coat. Let the excess drip off, then place on parchment paper to harden. Serve with whipped cream for a fun strawberries-and-cream twist.

Steps:

• Make the Pavlova: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until very foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time (this should take about 3 minutes). Continue beating until stiff and shiny, about 3 more minutes.
• Sift the cocoa powder over the egg white mixture and sprinkle with the chopped chocolate; fold to combine. Spread the meringue into an 8-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, making a shallow well in the center. Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F; bake until firm and dry, about 2 hours. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Let the meringue cool in the oven, about 3 hours. Carefully remove from the parchment and transfer to a platter.
• Make the toppings: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Toss the strawberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Top the Pavlova with the whipped cream and strawberries.
