Red White & Blue Stuffed Strawberries
Strawberries season is here, so I’m making a lot of strawberry themed side dishes and treats this weekend! (Need strawberries? Zaycon is selling freshly picked strawberries in bulk. Head HERE for more details!)
20-25 fresh strawberries
20-25 fresh blueberries
80z. mascarpone cheese
4 T. confectioners sugar
1 t. vanilla
1. Wash and dry strawberries and blueberries. Set blueberries aside. Using a small paring knife, cut the bottom off of each berry so that they stand up on a plate or tray. Using a melon baller, scoop out the top and stem of the strawberry.
2. In a mixer beat together cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Place this mixture in a ziploc bag and snip off a tiny corner of one bag to make an opening like a pastry bag. Alternatively, use a pastry bag if you have one available.
3. Gently squeeze the cheese mixture into each berry and top it with a fresh blueberry. Serve.
Variation Ideas: If you want to take this dessert over the top simply dip the finished strawberries in chocolate, or add cocoa powder to the mascarpone cheese to make the stuffing chocolate flavored.

What a fabuless idea!

I’m doing a similar dish for my friends baby shower! I’m going to use cream cheese instead of mascarpone and roll the exposed cheese in crushed graham cracker. YUM YUM!
