Easy Strawberries and Cream

August 7, 2015

    This version of ‘strawberries and cream’ is so simple and easy but tastes like a strawberry cheesecake!  It’s a delicious little mouthful of almond cheesecake flavor wrapped in a big red strawberry.   A whole tray of these tasty morsels makes a stunning addition to a dessert table or a buffet.  Who could not be tempted with these?

   This is a dessert I usually think of and make in the summertime, but it would really be good anytime fresh strawberries are available.  The only thing that would make these better might be chocolate!  That gives me some ideas…

 

  Recipe:

Strawberries and Cream

1 (8-ounce) pkg. cream cheese

1/2 cup confectioner sugar

1 teaspoon pure almond extract

   In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, softened, add confectioner sugar, and pure almond extract.  Beat until smooth.  Fill a pastry bag fitted with a decorative star tip, with the cream cheese mixture and chill for about one hour.

 

   Quarter the strawberries, starting from the tip to the end of the stem,  Be careful not to slice all the way through the strawberry.   Pipe the filling into the prepared strawberries.  A mint garnish sets off the beautiful red of the strawberries.

 

  This recipe makes enough filling for about a quart of strawberries.
