Strawberries With Mint Whipped Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Make syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, mint, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil. Remove from heat; steep 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids. Let cool (makes about 1/4 cup).
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1/4 cup syrup (store any remaining syrup); if needed, re-whip cream to stiffen.
• Starting with strawberries, spoon alternating layers of strawberries and cream into four serving glasses. Top each with a mint sprig.

Steps:

• Make biscuits:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Blend flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 cup cream and orange peel. Process just until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; gently knead 5 turns. Roll out dough on floured surface to 3/4-inch-thick round. Using 3-inch-diameter cutter, cut out 3 rounds. Gather dough and reroll as needed to make 3 more 3-inch rounds. Arrange rounds on prepared sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons cream; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake biscuits until pale golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. (Can be made 2 hours ahead.)
• Make berries and cream:
• Combine berries, 1/2 cup sugar, mint, and orange peel in medium bowl; stir to blend. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Combine cream, vanilla, and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in large bowl. Whisk until soft peaks form.
• Cut biscuits horizontally in half. Place 1 biscuit bottom in each of 6 bowls. Top each with berries, then sweetened whipped cream and biscuit top.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, mint, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil.
• Remove from heat; steep 15 minutes.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
• Discard solids.
• Let cool (makes about a cup).
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold in cup of a syrup (store any remaining syrup); if needed, re-whip cream to stiffen.
• Starting with strawberries, spoon alternating layers of strawberries and cream into four serving glasses. (You can use martini glasses or champagne flutes.).
• Top each with a mint sprig and chopped toasted almonds (optional).
• *You can also use the mint syrup to sweeten iced tea or lemonade. For a bracing cocktail, add a splash to a glass filled with seltzer, vodka, and lemon.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet just large enough to hold the strawberries in one layer, melt the butter in the preheating oven, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully so that the butter does not burn. Remove pan from oven and stir in 2 tablespoons of the sugar. The mixture will be grainy. Add the berries, tossing to coat with the butter and sugar. Spread in a single layer. Roast, stirring and turning once or twice, until the berries just begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Gently roll the roasted berries in the pan syrup to coat, then let them cool for about 5 minutes in the skillet.
• While the berries are roasting, whip the cream with the creme de menthe and remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar just until soft peaks form. Divide the chantilly cream among 4 shallow dessert bowls. Arrange the lukewarm berries in the chantilly cream, pointed ends up. Using a teaspoon, dribble the red pan glaze over the mint cream. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Wash and stem strawberries and pat dry with paper towels.
• Put flour in a shallow dish.
• Beat egg and milk together in a bowl.
• Mix cinnamon and graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish.
• Dredge Strawberries in flour, then in egg/milk and then roll in graham cracker mixture.
• Have enough oil heated for deep frying.
• Deep fry strawberries for 1 to 2 minutes or until coating is crisped.
• Drain on paper towels and roll in sugar.
• Place strawberries (about 4 per serving depending on size of berries) on a plate with small dollops of whipped cream between and garnish with mint.

Steps:

• Mix the strawberries with the mint in a bowl.
• Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture reaches a thin syrup consistency, about 3 minutes.
• Drizzle syrup over the strawberries and mint and toss gently. Divide berries into four serving cups. Top each with ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with a mint leaf.
