Stuffed Strawberries Recipe
Discover a delightful treat with our Stuffed Strawberries recipe, perfect for any occasion when you want to impress with minimal effort. This elegant dessert combines the rich, creamy texture of cream cheese with the sweet freshness of strawberries, making it a perfect, easy-to-make indulgence that’s both visually appealing and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cream cheese: This is the base of your filling, giving a luscious, creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the strawberries.
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar: To sweeten the cream cheese filling, adding just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering.
- 1 teaspoon almond extract: A subtle touch of almond flavor enhances the overall taste of the filling, creating a more complex and delightful profile.
- 1 pint strawberries: Choose ripe, firm strawberries for the best results. They should be large enough to hold the creamy filling but still firm enough to support the stuffing.
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and almond extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. This will be the rich and sweet filling for your strawberries.
-
Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. With a sharp knife, carefully cut each strawberry into quarters, starting from the tip and cutting towards the stem end. Be cautious not to cut all the way through the stem end; you want the strawberry to remain intact but open enough to be filled.
-
Fill the Strawberries: Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the prepared strawberries, making sure to fill them generously but neatly.
-
Chill and Serve: Place the filled strawberries on a serving platter and chill them in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This allows the cream cheese filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
-
Enjoy: Once chilled, your Stuffed Strawberries are ready to be served. These delightful treats are perfect for entertaining, offering a sweet, creamy, and refreshing bite that’s sure to please.
