Recipe of the Week: Stuffed Strawberries
Although valentines day has come and past, its never ill
timing to whip up some tasty treats!
Ingredients:
24 Large strawberries, hulls removed
12 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1-teaspoon vanilla (can use orange or almond instead)
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/2lb dark chocolate flakes
Preparation:
Place cream cheese in a bowl, microwave for 30 seconds so
that it is soft.
Whip together the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar.
In the center of each strawberry, using a sharp knife, make
a hole in each one, as deep as you can without going out the bottom.
Spoon or pipe the filling into each hole
Dip cheesecake end of strawberry into chocolate flakes
making sure you completely cover the cheesecake filling with chocolate (you can
also dip in melted chocolate and nuts)
Chill and serve
Enjoy!
Other options:
Instead of cheesecake filling, use a vanilla cream filling
by mixing:
2 (3.5 ounce) packets of instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups of heavy cream
1 cup of milk
Mix ingredients together in bowl, cover with plastic wrap,
and refrigerate to set.
