Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat dry. Using a paring knife, slice off the green stems and create a small hole in the top of each berry, then carefully hollow out the interior with a small spoon, leaving about 1/4 inch border for structural integrity.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-blended, with no lumps remaining. The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape when piped or spooned.8 pieces large strawberries
- Transfer the filling into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or use a small spoon. Fill each hollowed strawberry generously with the cream mixture, smoothing the top for a clean presentation. Repeat until all strawberries are filled.8 pieces large strawberries
- Arrange the stuffed strawberries on a serving platter. For a decorative touch, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate or garnish with mint leaves. Optionally, chill the assembled strawberries in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set the filling and enhance freshness.
- Serve the strawberries cold or at room temperature, showcasing the vibrant red exterior and creamy interior. The final texture is juicy and firm on the outside with a smooth, luscious filling inside.
See, that was quick and oh-so-delicious! These stuffed strawberries are perfect for a light dessert or a fancy snack.
