Puffed Buckwheat and Quinoa Baskets with Cream and Strawberry Sauce

Writer's picture: Romagnola Q.uanto B.astaRomagnola Q.uanto B.asta

These little baskets are a bomb of tastiness. Crunchy chocolate that contains a frothy cream with fresh strawberries, a real pleasure. An excellent alternative to the classic tartlets with fruit and you can serve them at the end of a meal for a dinner with friends. It is a recipe for those who do not have much time that will surely amaze guests. You can prepare the small shells in advance and place them in the refrigerator and fill them a few minutes before serving.


There are many variations here as well because you can use the cereal that you like best or that you have in the pantry to finish, in fact I too have adopted the "empty the pantry" technique by putting what I had available at the time. You can also use oats, puffed rice, puffed spelled or the classic breakfast cereals. As for the base also for the cream and fruit you can indulge yourself. I combined fresh cream with ricotta, icing sugar and a hint of strawberry sauce that I used as to decorate. You can prepare the cream you prefer and then finish with the fruit you like best. I chose strawberries because they go very well with chocolate and also because red gives a touch of joy to the whole.


Happy baking!
