Nutella Brownie Santa Hats
Ingredients
- 550g Nutella
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅓ cup plain flour
- Extra Nutella to glue the strawberry to the brownie base
- Punnet of strawberries
- 300ml thickened cream
- ¼ cup icing mixture
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven 160ºC and line a slice tray with baking paper.
- Wash the strawberries and let them air dry on a clean tea towel. Cut the leaves off so there is a flat bottom for the strawberry to sit on.
- Place Nutella in a microwave safe bowl and warm on high for 30 seconds.
- Lightly whisk the eggs and add to the Nutella with the salt and vanilla. Gently stir until well combined.
- Sift in the flour and gently fold through until all of the flour is incorporated with the wet ingredients.
- Pour into a lined slice tray and cook for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely in the tin. I find it helps to refrigerate the brownie before cutting the circles.
- Whip the cream, icing mixture and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Cut circles using a 5cm cookie cutter.
- Spread a small amount of Nutella on the top of each circle and add the strawberry on top.
- Put the whipped cream into a piping bag with a small star shaped nozzle.
- Pipe stars around the base of the strawberry and 1 star on the top of the strawberry to complete the Santa hat.
Notes
If you don’t have a piping bag, use a snap lock bag instead. Or spoon a blob of whipped cream on top of the Nutella circle and rest the strawberry on top (this will replace the piped stars) don’t forget a small blob of cream on top as well.
