Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Knowing how to use a pastry bag makes quick work of filling the strawberries, but there are plenty of alternatives if you don’t have one. The easiest option is to use a spoon to put the filling in the strawberries. You can also use a resealable bag instead of a pastry bag. Simply fill the bag with the filling, then snip off a corner, and you have an instant pastry bag.
Ingredients
- 3 dozen large fresh strawberries
- 11 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- grated chocolate, optional
Directions
- Remove stems from strawberries. Cut a deep "X" in the tip of each berry. Gently spread berries open.
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and extract until light and fluffy. Pipe or spoon about 2 teaspoons into each berry; if desired, sprinkle with chocolate. Chill until serving.
