Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 5 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 portion of frozen strudel dough
- A little butter for greasing the tray
- 250 g fresh strawberries
- 100 g sugar
- 1 packet of gelatin
- 4 tablespoons of red wine (or warm water, if you prefer)
- 1 liter of whipped cream
- Mint leaves for decoration
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Step by step:
1. Preparing the dough: Take the strudel dough out of the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature. Once it is soft and easy to handle, roll it out on a clean surface dusted with a little flour. Using a knife or a pastry cutter, cut out round shapes with a diameter of 7-8 cm. This will be the base of the mini strudels.
2. Baking the dough: Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Grease a tray with a little butter and place the round dough shapes. Bake them for about 5 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden. This step is essential for achieving a crispy texture.
3. Preparing the filling: While the dough is baking, clean and wash the strawberries. Mash them with a fork or in a blender to create a puree. Add the sugar and mix well. The gelatin is dissolved in hot red wine, making sure there are no lumps. If necessary, add a little warm water to dilute the gelatin. Incorporate the gelatin into the strawberry puree.
4. Preparing the whipped cream: Whip the cream until it becomes firm. It is important for the cream to be well whipped to provide a light and airy texture to the mini strudels. Gradually add the cream to the strawberry mixture, gently folding it in to avoid losing the air.
5. Assembling the mini strudels: On each cooled dough shape, spread a tablespoon of strawberry cream. Each mini strudel should contain 5-6 round shapes, creating a 'layered' effect.
6. Decorating: Serve the mini strudels with a spoonful of strawberry cream on top. Decorate with slices of fresh strawberries and mint leaves. If you desire a sweet touch, sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top.
Practical tips:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for an intense flavor. If you cannot find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well.
- Instead of red wine, you can use orange juice or warm water, depending on your preferences.
- For a more intense flavor, you can add a little vanilla to the strawberry cream or experiment with other seasonal fruits like raspberries or peaches.
These mini strudels with strawberry cream are not just a delicious dessert, but also a small culinary work of art. Enjoy them with a fragrant tea or a glass of sweet wine, and savor every bite!
