Hot Christmas Strawberry Tower

I’ve made this strawberry tower several times recently, but each time I was too rushed to take notes. However, every creation was stunning. Now that strawberry season has begun and Christmas is right around the corner, this strawberry tower is perfect for the occasion. Topped with snowy peaks, festive and fragrant, it brings a feeling of full happiness. I promise to share recipes more diligently going forward. A gift given always leaves a lingering fragrance on the hand.

Slice the 6-inch chiffon cake into three layers, then use a round cup to cut a concentric circle from the middle layer. Use a slightly larger circular shape to cut another concentric circle from another layer.

This is a picture from one time I made it. The cream should be whipped to a stiff consistency for the best results.

Remove the strawberry stems, wash and dry them with kitchen paper, then cut them in half. You’ll need to cut quite a lot.

Cooking Tips

1. Choose strawberries that are uniform in size, fully red, fragrant, glossy, and sweet—deliciousness always comes first. 2. The cream for the inner layers should be firm, and the outer coating should be smooth and neat. Don't skimp on the preparation.
