Strawberries with pine nut-praline cream

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Sugar
3 tablespoons Water
⅓ cup Pine nuts
1 cup Whipping cream
Well chilled
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 pints Strawberries
Hulled; quartered

Directions

Vanilla yogurt can be used in place of whipped cream.

1. Lightly oil a flat baking sheet. Put the sugar in a small heavy saucepan; drizzle water over and swirl the pan so all the sugar is moistened. Cook over medium-high heat, watching closely, until sugar is melted and mixture is a rich medium brown. Add pine nuts and remove from heat. Immediately pour onto baking sheet and cool completely.

2. Break cooled nut mixture into pieces. Grind to a powder in a food processor or blender.

3. Whip cream until it holds soft peaks. Mix in vanilla and half of ground nut mixture.

4. To serve, place a spoonful of whipped cream into serving bowls; top with berries and a small sprinkling of nut powder.
