How to Make Strawberry Smothered Twinkies
- Wash 1 pound of fresh strawberries thoroughly and drain well.
- Hull and slice the strawberries into approximately 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Place the sliced strawberries in a medium-sized bowl.
- Mash the strawberries using a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (slightly chunky or completely smooth).
- Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the mashed strawberries, depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the strawberry sauce for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the strawberries to release their juices.
- Do not add water; the strawberries will release their own juices.
- Just before serving, arrange Twinkies (approximately 10-12) in individual serving dishes or bowls.
- Top each Twinkie generously with the chilled strawberry sauce.
- Finish with a dollop of whipped cream (approximately 1/4 cup per Twinkie).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
