Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1/2 cup butter infused olive oil (or 2/3 cup melted butter)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup gluten free 1:1 baking flour
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips (dark preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) heavy whipping cream*
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons powdered sugar or 1 tablespoon maple syrup (to help stabilize)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Santa Hats

  • 1 batch of homemade whipped cream
  • 15 – 20 strawberries, tops removed and pat dry
  • piping bag or zip-top bag

*You can also substitute with a vanilla icing (recommended : Simple Mills)

Instructions

BAKE THE BROWNIES

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line an 8×8 pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk melted butter, sugar, and vanilla.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth.
  4. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Spread batter evenly in the pan (it will be thick).
  6. Bake 25 – 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool completely – this is essential for clean cuts.

MAKE THE WHIPPED CREAM

  1. Beat heavy cream, vanilla, and maple syrup/powdered sugar until thick, fluffy peaks form.
  2. Chill until ready to use.

ASSEMBLE THE SANTA BROWNIE BITES

  1. Cut cooled brownies into small circles using a cutter or measuring cup.
  2. Pipe a small swirl of whipped cream onto each brownie
  3. Gently press a strawberry (cut-side down) onto the cream.
  4. Add a tiny dollop of cream on top of the strawberry “hat”.

Equipment

Notes

  • Cool brownies fully before cutting – this prevents crumbling.
  • If using a gluten-free flour blend, choose a 1:1 brand for best texture.
  • You may use powdered sugar or maple syrup to sweeten the whipped cream.
  • Strawberries should be dry before assembling to prevent slipping.
