Time 35m

Yield 32 strawberries

Number Of Ingredients 5

32 large fresh strawberries, large
11 -12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate or 2 tablespoons milk chocolate, grated

Steps:

  • Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each strawberry, allowing the berries to stand upright on flattened end.
  • Place berries, cut side down, on a serving platter. Cut each berry carefully into 4 wedges, cutting almost to, but not through, bottoms.
  • Fan wedges just slightly, taking care not to break; set berries aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and almond extract until light and fluffy.
  • Gently fold in grated chocolate.
  • Using a teaspoon or decorating bag with decorative tip, fill the strawberries. If desired, sprinkle with a little more grated chocolate.
  • Cover and chill.
