Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces fresh strawberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons crushed nuts (e.g., pistachios or almonds)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a paring knife, remove the stems and cut a small hollow at the top of each strawberry to create space for the filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry until it overflows slightly.
Dip the tops of the stuffed strawberries into the crushed nuts, ensuring the nuts adhere to the filling.
Optionally, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the strawberries for an elegant touch.
Refrigerate the stuffed strawberries for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Special Stuffed Strawberries!
