Ingredients:
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup Nutella or other chocolate-hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts or almonds (optional, for garnish)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Using a paring knife, carefully hull the strawberries by cutting around the stem and creating a small hole at the top of each strawberry. You can also gently hollow out the inside if needed to make more space for the filling.
- Fill the Strawberries: Spoon the Nutella into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the Nutella into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry, filling it generously.
- Garnish: If desired, dip the tops of the filled strawberries into crushed hazelnuts or almonds for added crunch and flavor. You can also lightly dust the strawberries with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve: Arrange the Nutella-stuffed strawberries on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate them for up to an hour before serving to allow the Nutella to firm up slightly.
