Best 4 Strawberry Christmas Trees Recipes

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY CHRISTMAS TREES

Steps:

• Set a heat proof bowl over a small pot of simmering water on the stovetop (double boiler). Slowly melt the candy melts in the bowl, stirring occasionally. Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the candy.
• Spoon or pipe a small amount of icing onto the top of each Oreo. This will adhere the strawberry to the cookie base.
• Once candy melts are fully melted, turn the heat to low while you dip the strawberries using a toothpick inserted into the cut end.
• Shake off excess candy coating gently. Using a second toothpick inserted into the pointed end of the dipped strawberry, carefully place the strawberry on top of the icing on the Oreo.
• Decorate with sprinkles and a candy star while the candy coating is still wet. It will usually dry in about 10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY CHRISTMAS TREES

Steps:

• Rinse strawberries and gently pat them dry. Make a clean slice from the base of each strawberry to remove the stem and create a base for the bottom of the strawberry "tree."
• Place candy melts in the top pan of a double boiler. Heat over simmering water, stirring frequently, until candy melts are smooth. Remove from over the simmering water. Dry the bottom of the pan with a dishtowel.
• Use a toothpick or fork to dip the strawberry into the candy melt mixture. Tap off the excess candy from the strawberry. Use a second fork to lift the strawberry from the dipping tool and onto the center of a cookie. You can also place a small dollop of the melted candy onto the center of the cookie before setting the cut side of the strawberry down.
• Sprinkle nonpareils over the dipped strawberry and place a star on top before the candy hardens.
• Reheat candy melts as needed to keep the mixture dippable.

STRAWBERRY CHRISTMAS TREES

Steps:

• 1. Bake your brownies in greased mini-muffin tins filled up 3/4 of the way. You're going to have to shorten the baking time a bit, so just keep your eyes on them as they bake - they're done when a cake tester comes out clean.As the brownies are baking and cooling, put together your frosting and dye it green.
• 2. Once baked and cooled, secure the strawberries to the brownies with a dab of frosting. Put frosting in a piping bag fit with a small star tip, and cover the entire strawberry by starting at the strawberry, applying a bit of pressure, and pulling away gently to a nice point.
• 3. Feel free to use boxed brownie mix, canned frosting, and whatever other shortcuts you can come up with during this busy time of year! I ended up with more brownie batter than I had strawberries, so I just baked off a few extra and decorated them with frosting without strawberries.

STRAWBERRY HOLIDAY TREE

Steps:

• *Need 12x4-inch (or larger) Styrofoam cone and toothpicks.
• To prepare cone, wrap completely with parchment paper, using toothpicks to hold parchment in place. Set cone on the center a festive serving platter.
• In a medium bowl, place chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water. Heat chocolate, stirring occasionally, until completely melted, then remove from heat.
• Working one at a time and starting with the largest berries at the bottom, dip the cut stem side of the strawberry into the chocolate then place it onto the parchment wrapped cone. Repeat process, placing the berries in rows and stacking them on top of each other to reach the top of the tree.
• Once all of the berries are placed on the cone, arrange mint sprigs in the spaces between the berries. Place confectioners sugar in a sifter and tap around the tree to dust with sugar.
