Mini Strawberry Shortcake Cups are a delightful twist on classic strawberry shortcake. These bite-sized treats feature buttery cups filled with sweet strawberries and topped with fluffy whipped cream.
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced. 1/4 cup heavy cream. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced. 1 tablespoon sugar for strawberries. 1 cup whipped cream. Mint leaves for garnish.
Instructions: Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and grease a mini muffin tin. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl with a whisk. The cold, diced butter should be added to the dry blend. You can use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dough until it looks like big crumbs. Put the heavy cream and vanilla extract in the bowl. Mix the dough until it comes together. Break the dough up into small pieces, and then press one piece into each mini muffin cup to make a well in the middle. After the oven is hot, bake the cups for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Put the diced strawberries in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let them sit for a few minutes while the cups are baking. After the cups have been baked and cooled, put a spoonful of the strawberry mixture into each one. Sprinkle mint leaves on top of the whipped cream and strawberry-filled cups. Serve and have fun!
