Description
Elegant little cookie boats filled with creamy mascarpone and topped with fresh strawberries for a delightful dessert experience.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries
- Cookies (sugar cookies or shortbread)
- Mascarpone cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies according to package or recipe instructions until edges just turn golden. Transfer them to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully slice each strawberry in half lengthwise and hollow out a small cavity in the cut side to create a ‘boat’ shape.
- Transfer the mascarpone mixture into a piping bag and pipe a neat dollop onto each cooled cookie.
- Press a hollowed strawberry half onto each filled cookie, cut side down.
- Serve immediately or chill for 10–20 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best texture, fill cookies just before serving and keep strawberries dry.
