#302_CheeseCake-Stuffed Strawberries

Fresh strawberries stuffed with Cream Cheese fillings.

Here's a good way to dress up and serve strawberries....
fill them with cream cheese.

I got this idea from Paula Dean on Food Network where she used
Mascarpone Cheese and powdered sugar.
I used my old No-Bake Cheesecake Filling recipe, click here.
They are really good!! it's like eating CheeseCake sans the crusts.

Cream Cheese Filling Recipe:

1-8 oz pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 pint sour cream
Vanilla extract
1-8 oz. tub cool whip or whipping cream, whipped

Cream the cream cheese with the sugar then stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
Fold in the Cool Whip (do not mix or stir).

To fill the Strawberries:Cut "x" in each of the strawberries, cutting almost to the bottom.

Using a pastry bag with a star tip, fill each strawberry with the Cream Filling.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Optional: garnish with chocolate curls.

ENJOY!!!
