Tips
This recipe is so basic, that I have almost no tips whatsoever. I only have one tip to share with you today, but it’s an important one, so be sure you read it over.
- When beating whipped cream until stiff peaks form, that means a very specific thing. Stiff peaks means that when you pull the mixer away, the peaks that form stay there. If you get picks that begin to fall – even a little bit – when you pull the mixer away, you’re not finished beating the whipped cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions about these stuffed strawberries, then I have the answer. This FAQ answers the most commonly asked questions about this recipe.
What are stiff peaks?
Stiff peaks stand straight up when you lift the beaters away from your whipped cream. This shouldn’t be confused with medium-stiff peaks which stand up but curl at the top.
How do you know when strawberries are ripe?
If the tip of the strawberry is completely red and the berry has a little give (not mushy, though) the strawberry is ripe.
How do you know if strawberries are too ripe?
Strawberries that are overripe will be more than soft, they’ll be mushy. They’ll also have a sort of wet, sickly hue to the red on their skin. While they aren’t dangerous at this point, they’re not very good.
Will picked strawberries continue to ripen?
No, they won’t. Unlike tomatoes, strawberries stop ripening immediately after picking them, so don’t buy underripe strawberries thinking that they’ll continue to ripen.
Why did my whipped cream break?
Whipped cream usually breaks from overwhipping. Some people think that the more you whip the better, but once the whipped cream forms stiff peaks, whipping it any more than that will allow the air to escape and everything will deflate.
