Jack-O'-Lantern Stuffed Strawberries
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Paring Knife
  • Piping Bag

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large strawberries
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the strawberries under cool water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Slice off the green tops and use a small knife to hollow out the center of each berry.
  • Cut small triangle shapes and a jagged mouth into the side of each strawberry to form a jack-o'-lantern face.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon the filling into a small zip-top bag, snip off one corner, and pipe the mixture into the hollowed strawberries until each one is filled.
  • Arrange the filled strawberries on a plate and serve right away.

Notes

Chill the cream cheese mixture for ten minutes before piping if it feels too soft. Use the largest strawberries you can find so the carved faces stay clear. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to one day in a covered container.
