Preparation

Step 1

Halve each strawberry through the stem-end, and use a melon baller or paring knife to scoop out part of the middle.
In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone, cream, sugar, vanilla, and cardamom until soft peaks form. Using a piping bag with corner sniped off (or fitted with a round tip), fill each strawberry with the cream. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and serve.
