Filled Strawberry Cheesecakes image

Based on a Martha Stewart Recipe, but I altered it (because I think this tastes better! haha) Bite size fresh strawberries filled with a sweet cream cheese mixture. I took these to a party and they were gone in minutes with tons of complements! :)

Time 20m

Yield 20-30 strawberries, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces cream cheese
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract (could also use vanilla extract)
1 quart size package of whole fresh strawberries
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
chocolate shavings, for decoration

Steps:

  • Use a melon baller to scoop out the green leafy top of the strawberries, and use a paring knife to cut off the bottoms of the strawberries so that they stand up.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar into the hollowed out strawberries, and allow it to sit.
  • Mix together the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and almond extract in a bowl. Vary the amount of sugar and almond extract to taste.
  • Cut the corner off a ziplock bag, insert a piping tip, and fill with the cream cheese. Pipe the mixture into the strawberries. (or scoop it in there if you don't have decorating tips).
  • If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
