Strawberry Flowers

Easy strawberries are cut to resemble flowers and filled with a sweetened cream cheese mixture.

Ingredients:

  • 30 medium to large perfect strawberries
  • 11 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated semisweet or milk chocolate

Preparation:

Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each strawberry, so the berry will stand upright without wobbling. Place the berries, cut side down, on a serving platter. Cut each berry, without cutting through, into 4 wedges. Cut almost to the bottom, but do not cut completely through. Fan wedges slightly apart, taking care not to break; set aside.

Combine cream cheese, sugar, and almond extract in a mixing bowl. Using a hand-held electric mixer at medium speed, beat until light and fluffy. Fold in the grated chocolate. Spoon mixture into a decorating bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe cream cheese mixture into center of each berry. Chill until ready to serve.
Makes about 30 filled strawberries.

"I had made this for my co-worker's baby shower at the office. They were all gone, everyone lived them and asked me what was in them. It is very simple to make and very delicious. You must try for your next gathering. It is def a crowd pleaser!"
