Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, wash your strawberries gently under cold water. I find it’s best to let them dry on a paper towel for a bit. Once they’re nice and dry, trim off the tops and use a paring knife to hollow out the center, making a little space for that creamy goodness. Take your time with this step; you want to make sure not to cut through the side of the strawberry. It’s like preparing a little edible cup! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
