Festive Fourth of July Strawberries

Festive Fourth of July Strawberries

Ingredients: 

6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 

4 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar 

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

12 strawberries, hulled 

12 small blueberries 

 

Directions:  

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip. 

Trim 1/2-inch from bottom of each strawberry so that it sits flat. Use a small melon baller to scoop out the center of each berry. Pipe cream cheese mixture into berries until it brims over the tops. Finish each strawberry with a blueberry garnish. Store, covered lightly with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
