19+ Strawberry Father Christmas Recipe Dive Into Deliciousness!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream for topping
• Sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball and flatten into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles and place them in a greased muffin tin.
4. Bake the crusts for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely before filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are soft and the mixture has thickened.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Spread a spoonful of the strawberry mixture onto the bottom of each cooled crust. Top with a spoonful of the cream cheese filling.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

1. Top each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a sliced strawberry for garnish.
2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for the filling to set.
3. Serve and enjoy your delicious strawberry Father Christmas pies!
