Instructions:
Preparing the Strawberries:
- Wash and Hull: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. Use a small knife or spoon to hollow out the center, creating a cavity for the filling.

Creating the Base:

- Arrange the Strawberries: Place the filled strawberries on top of the crumbly base, ensuring they stand upright.
Garnishing and Serving:
