Hazelnut and strawberry stars

Hazelnut and Strawberry Stars are a delightful and elegant dessert that combines the richness of hazelnuts with the freshness of strawberries. This recipe is perfect for special occasions or as a sweet treat to enjoy with loved ones. The combination of different flours in the batter adds a unique texture, while the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar create a luscious topping.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1/3 cup sugar
72g
2 tbsp corn flour
30g
2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
2 tbsp self-raising flour
30g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
1 tbsp powdered sugar
16g
1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1 cup strawberries
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale and doubled in volume (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the corn flour, all-purpose flour, and self-raising flour. Gently fold this flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the airiness of the batter.
4. Bake the Stars: Spoon the batter into star-shaped molds or arrange dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the stars are lightly golden and spring back when touched. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
5. Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
6. Prepare the Topping: Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Chop the hazelnuts if not already chopped.
7. Assemble the Stars: Once the stars have cooled, top them with a dollop of whipped cream, a slice of strawberry, and a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts.
8. Serve: Arrange the Hazelnut and Strawberry Stars on a serving plate. These delightful treats are best enjoyed fresh.

Tips:

- Make sure to beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will help in achieving a spongy texture.

- Sift the flours together before adding them to the mixture to avoid lumps and ensure even distribution.

- Roast the hazelnuts lightly to enhance their flavor before chopping them.

- Use fresh strawberries for the best taste and texture.

- Chill the heavy whipping cream and the bowl in which you'll whip it to make the process easier and quicker.

- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture to retain as much air as possible for a light and airy batter.

- Allow the dessert to cool completely before adding the whipped cream topping to prevent it from melting.

Hazelnut and Strawberry Stars are a truly delightful dessert that bring together the nutty flavor of hazelnuts and the vibrant taste of strawberries. Following these tips and steps will ensure a perfect outcome, making this dessert a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy the process and the wonderful flavors that come with it!
