Strawberry Dreams image

This recipe was a big hit with my toughest critics, my in-laws. I am always in charge of making the dessert for family gatherings and I needed something new for this year's Fourth of July. So with some creativity and good fortune I came up with Strawberry Dreams. The red, white & blue finish is enticing to the eye and even more pleasing to the taste. Enjoy!

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs fresh strawberries (medium to large work best)
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
4 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar, adjust according to your sweet tooth
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
2 tablespoons of grated semisweet chocolate, looks pretty in the cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash strawberries.
  • Cut out small hole/core in tops of strawberries (This hole is where the cream will sit).
  • Blend cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar& extract (s) in a bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Fold 2 tbsp of grated chocolate into cream mixture (optional).
  • Spoon mixture into a decorating bag with decorating tip of your choice (If you don't have decorating bags lying around, you can make do by using a large zip lock bag- Just cut a very small piece off one of the bottom corners to use as the decorating tip).
  • Squeeze the cream mixture into the holes/cores of the strawberries.
  • Finally, top each strawberry off with a blueberry.
  • Best if chilled for at least an hour before serving (while everyone is eating the main course is fine).
