Stuffed Strawberries Elegante
- Reviews 1
Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
Serves: 6
Yields: 12 berries
Ingredients
- 12 large fresh strawberries, washed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or 1 tablespoon fragolino di nemi strawberry liqueur
- fresh mint leaves (to garnish) (optional)
Directions
- Slice off stem end of strawberries to form a flat base.
- Place berries on flat surface, with pointed end up.
- With a sharp knife, slice each berry in half vertically to within a 1/4 inch of base. Cut each half into three wedges to form 6 petals. Pull petals apart slightly.
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and liqueur; beat until light and fluffy.
- With a pastry bag and star tip or small spoon, (if mixture thins too much after beating, place filled bag in the refrigerator for about 15-20 min.) then fill strawberries with cream cheese mixture.
- A plastic zipper sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag by filling with cream cheese mixture, cut one corner off of the bottom of the bag and squeeze.
- For a beautiful presentation drizzle with melted slightly cooled dark chocolate.
