Santas Strawberry and Brownie Hats
"'These cute little things came about a few months back and the idea or recipe had to come out now fit for the perfect time of the year when the cute hats will suit perfectly and make Santa <… such a happy man! Strawberries mounted on a homemade delish brownie decorated with Baileys cream - a real Christmas treat! Great stuff so, get your young ones to help with this recipe its those precious and such special and wonderful Christmas times they will never forget. Making Christmas a magical family time that kids will cherish forever. Lets get these hats ready and make Santa a super happy bunny!"
Notes" This recipe makes anything between 16-20 pieces depending on how you cut them. Try and cut them as neatly as you can and as next to one another as possible so you make the most of them with not much waste. No excuses for early brownie munching on the premise that you cut them badly!! Do a neat job please
" With the left overs you could make another dessert with cream fruits and brownie crumbs (if any left)
" Depending on what shape you use or want to cut those into, I would recommend you chop the nuts slightly smaller to put inside the brownies and the more rough ones sprinkle on top so when you cut your little hats base you dont get it messed up by a big chunky nut getting on the way spoiling its shape.
The top ones you can see and work around those. This is called experience. . However, if you are using just a simple round cutter this will not matter so much.
" The Baileys thick cream you could buy ready made or make it yourself by simply mixing 2-3 tbsp Baileys into 200ml cream and 40g or more of sifted icing cane sugar. It is simply delicious. Take my word for it.
" For the children I make a separate batch and I add rum essence instead of Baileys cream since this is a boozy option even though it is not much of it.
