Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

[/title][fusion_text]Week of April 11th-15th 2016

  • 24+ large, fresh strawberries

  • 1 (8oz) package cream cheese, room temperature or softened slightly

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Cut the stems from the strawberries, so the strawberries can sit cut-side down. Cut a deep “X” from the tip down, being careful not to cut all the way through. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with a hand mixer until nice and fluffy. Gently open up each strawberry and pipe the filling inside using a pastry bag or zip-top bag with a star piping tip. Don’t have a pastry bag or piping tip? Just cut off the corner of a zip-top bag and squeeze the cheesecake filling inside the strawberries that way. Top each filled strawberry with a blueberry. These are best served after the strawberries have been chilled for at least an hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days depending on how firm/soft the strawberries are.
