Stuffed Strawberries and Cream Recipe

This Stuffed Strawberries and Cream Recipe is perfect for entertaining. Make them for showers, graduation parties, or Valentines Day.

Strawberries and cream is a classic combination and this recipe takes it to another level with its party-ready presentation.

You’re going to love these stuffed strawberries and cream for parties and entertaining. The presentation is so cute and impressive but they are actually very easy to make. This has become my favorite way to indulge in strawberries!

I first made these many, many years ago while hosting a brunch, and with strawberries in season they are the perfect item to add to your menu. Add them to your dessert table as a lighter option than cakes or brownies.

If you’re short on time you can serve the strawberries and cream cheese filling in separate bowls like I did for this brunch party, and just dip them into the cream. For that matter, you could make fruit kabobs with strawberries, pineapple, banana, and apples, and have the dip on the side!

Stuffed Strawberries and Cream recipe

• 1 quart fresh strawberries {about 2 dozen}
• 8 ounces {1 block} light cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

Prepare strawberries by washing and drying them. Cut the stem side off to create a flat base for them to sit on.

Cut the tip in a cross pattern, but do not cut all the way through. Set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add almond flavoring and integrate well.

Transfer mixture into a pastry bag with a star tip attached.

Pipe the cream cheese filling into the strawberries and place on a serving dish.

Keep chilled until ready to serve.

HOSTESS TIPS:  I suggest you make the cream cheese filling a few hours ahead, or the night before so the flavors have time to develop.

You can also stuff the strawberries the night ahead. If you do, make sure to place them in an air tight container lined with a paper towel to catch the juice that will seep out.
