Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

12 pieces large strawberries hulled and halved
8 oz cream cheese softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar for sweetness
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

Cutting board
Sharp Knife
Mixing bowl
Spoon or piping bag for filling

Method

Arrange strawberries on a cutting board and cut each in half horizontally using a sharp knife. Inspect the halved strawberries to ensure a clean cut and remove any uneaten core pieces if necessary.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon or a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. The mixture should be thick but pipeable.
Spoon the cream cheese filling into a piping bag fitted with a small tip, or use a spoon to carefully fill each strawberry half. Fill until the fruit is generously topped but avoid overfilling to prevent spillage.
Place the filled strawberries on a serving tray or plate and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 10 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly and enhance the presentation.
Remove from the refrigerator once chilled. Optional: Garnish with mint leaves, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of additional powdered sugar for visual appeal.
