Key Ingredients- 7 fresh strawberries
- 14 blueberries
- 14 crackers
- 100g cream cheese spread
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently wash the fresh strawberries under running water. After washing, drain them thoroughly on a sieve to remove excess moisture. This ensures the cream cheese adheres well and maintains a beautiful appearance.
Step 2
Carefully remove the green tops (stems) from the strawberries. Then, slice each strawberry in half. You can also cut them into 2-3 pieces depending on their size.
Step 3
Arrange the crackers on a serving plate or tray, leaving a little space between each one. Using a pretty serving dish will enhance the festive atmosphere of your home party.
Step 4
Using a piping bag or a spoon, artfully spread or pipe a dollop of cream cheese spread onto each cracker. The cream cheese adds a wonderfully smooth and rich flavor.
Step 5
Now, place the halved strawberries and plump blueberries attractively on top of the cream cheese on each cracker. Consider the color combination to make them look even more appealing.
Step 6
Finally, garnish each canapé with a fresh mint leaf. This adds a lovely pop of color and a hint of refreshing aroma, completing your delightful strawberry canapés. See how simple that was?
Step 7
For an extra touch of elegance, you can lightly dust the finished canapés with powdered sugar using a sieve. This will give them a professional, cafe-worthy appearance, making your strawberry canapés even more delightful to enjoy.
