I will start out my new blog with a recipe of those yummy strawberries you see on my home page. I made these for the 4th of July, but they can made anytime. I had originally planned for the strawberries to be part of the desserts; others had their own opinion. They quickly became part of the appetizers.
Stuffed Strawberries
Servings: 8-12
24 Strawberries
24 Blueberries
8oz Mascarpone Cheese
3tbs powdered sugar
1tsp vanilla
Cut the tops and bottoms off the strawberries. With the small end of a melon baller scoop out the inside of the strawberries.
Beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla till smooth and slightly fluffy.
When the cheese mixture is done, put into a pastry bag (or Ziploc bag with a corner cut) and pipe into the strawberries. I used a #32 tip.
Top each strawberry with a blueberry and enjoy. You can make these ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator till ready.
I’m so glad you posted this recipe. When I saw the pictures I thought this was something even I could make!
You could make this since it requires no cooking. I plan to think of you while posting in the future. I’d love to see you expand more on your cooking skills. I know you have it in you.
These strawberries look beautiful and I would be taste as good. I look forward to trying them out.
How do you make them stand? Are they in a special container that has small holes to keep them standing upright?
You cut a tiny tip off the strawberries. It’s just enough to get them to stand.
These look fun and yummy! I pinned this recipe. Thank you for sharing.
I’m thinking thqt these would be beautiful on topof a cheesecake.
What do you think would be a good substitute for the powdered sugar?
Splenda could be a good substitute. I believe there is a conversion on the Splenda box to tell you how much to use.
Do you think that the marshmallow/philly cream cheese dip is a good alternative to the marscapone? I was trying to find an alternaltive center.
Filling the strawberries with a sweetened creamy filling is always yummy! So that should work.
I’ve made these with a yogurt/banana mixture as the filling. It still tastes sweet, and it’s fewer calories. 🙂
answered my question.. you strawberries look so sweet.
