Total Time:40 minutes
Yield:12 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 pound fresh strawberries
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut (optional)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Royal icing for decoration
2 cups fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and dry them thoroughly with a paper towel.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Melt the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of toppings on each strawberry.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and mix in vanilla.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Add buttermilk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
Place cookies on baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool completely, then decorate with royal icing.
In a blender, puree the fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain to remove seeds if preferred.
In a small bowl, combine raspberry puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until dissolved.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream until evenly blended.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
