These whipped cream stuffed strawberries are stuffed with basil whipped cream – they’re an irresistible bite of summer.

I am crazy about these strawberries. It isn’t the first time that I have paired strawberries and basil, and it certainly won’t be the last time! I’m already brainstorming ways to hook these two up again. It is a match made in heaven!

These strawberries are fancy enough for a dinner party but easy enough to pop one in your mouth on a hot day when you’re craving something refreshing.

On the same/different note–I am so happy that strawberries are starting to be in season! What fruits are you most excited to get your hands on?

These strawberries are stuffed with basil whipped cream – they’re an irresistible bite of summer.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
  • 20-25 medium to large strawberries (depending on size and how full you fill them)

Instructions

  • Put large mixing bowl and whisk/wire beaters of electric or stand mixer in fridge or freezer to chill.
  • Wash and dry strawberries. Cut off the tops of the strawberries and carefully hollow out a little of the inside using a paring knife. Also cut a tiny bit of the bottom off to create a flat surface.
  • Whip cream using electric mixer (and chilled bowl/whisk) until it starts to stiffen. Add sugar and continue to beat on high-speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in basil very gently just until combined.

Notes

  • Best served immediately.

    I’m not so excited about the idea of hulling and stuffing strawberries (I like smaller ones for their concentrated flavour anyway), but we often serve strawberries with whipped cream and I’m definitely going to throw in some basil to the whipped cream next time. The strawberry season will start here in a few weeks, so thank you for the neat idea just before the season begins!
    I also love pairing strawberries with mint – always throw some mint into the Eton Mess: http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2008/07/you-cannot-go-wrong-with-eton-mess.html

    These are totally my kinda thing! I made a strawberry basil milkshake a few weeks ago that I was in love with. The combination of the two is just so perfectly summer :)
