Based on a Martha Stewart Recipe, but I altered it (because I think this tastes better! haha) Bite size fresh strawberries filled with a sweet cream cheese mixture. I took these to a party and they were gone in minutes with tons of complements! :) Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese |
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons almond extract (could also use vanilla extract) |
1 quart size package of whole fresh strawberries |
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar |
chocolate shavings, for decoration |
Directions:
1. Use a melon baller to scoop out the green leafy top of the strawberries, and use a paring knife to cut off the bottoms of the strawberries so that they stand up.
2. Sprinkle brown sugar into the hollowed out strawberries, and allow it to sit.
3. Mix together the cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and almond extract in a bowl. Vary the amount of sugar and almond extract to taste.
4. Cut the corner off a ziplock bag, insert a piping tip, and fill with the cream cheese. Pipe the mixture into the strawberries. (or scoop it in there if you don't have decorating tips).
5. If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top.
6. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
