Madeira Hearts with Cream and Strawberries

So I’ve been veeeery busy with my newborn photography and it has been so hot, we haven’t really cooked much! I bought Ben a piping bag so he can have some “squeezy” fun and we made this super quick dessert.

Ingredients all bought in M&S

Madeira Cake

Ready Whipped Cream

Mascarpone

Icing sugar – 2-3 table spoons

Strawberries

So we just mixed together cream, mascarpone and icing sugar in a mixer.

Cut madeira cake into slices and used cookie cutter to make hearts.

Then Ben had a lot of fun piping the cream onto hearts and decorating them with strawberries.

Yum!

Scoop the tomato flesh out  and stuff them with the mixture. We didn’t have enough tomatoes, so we also made little “boats” using chinese leafs.

Bake for about half an hour or until cooked through. We’ve also boiled some new potatoes and add some fresh cucumbers.

Enjoy!
