Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries large and firm
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts optional, for topping

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Piping bag or ziplock bag
  • Paper Towels
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Carefully slice a small 'x' at the tip of each strawberry, creating a pocket.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off.
  5. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the center of each strawberry.
  6. Optional: Dip the stuffed strawberries in graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to firm up.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
