Heavenly Filled Strawberries!

We celebrated a couple of birthdays last night and they were both of the male species so we had grilled hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans and chips in their honor and then I made these wonderful Heavenly Filled Strawberries for those of us of the female species! Although the male species ate just as many if not more than the female.  Not that I was counting! :)

I saw fresh strawberries at the store yesterday and they just looked so good  to my poor fresh fruit deprived soul that I bought them and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with them!  I love this recipe because their is no guilt involved in eating them!  If you are a Weight Watchers person then you will love these because they are zero points!  It doesn’t get any better than this folks!

Is your mouth watering yet?

I found this recipe from Taste of Home last summer and I was able to find it so easy because I got all my recipes organized!

So does anyone want to make Heavenly Filled Strawberries?

Heavenly Filled Strawberries- (Recipe adapted from Taste of Home)

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh strawberries

1 package (8 ounce) fat free cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Grated Chocolate

Directions:

1. Remove stems from strawberries; cut a deep “X” in the tip of each berry.  Gently spread the berries open.

2. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and extract until light and fluffy.  Pipe or spoon about 2 teaspoons into each berry; sprinkle with chocolate.  Chill until serving.  Yield: about 3 dozen

(I used the no mess frosting method to pipe the filling in and cleanup was a breeze!)

These are a great tasting, good for you treat!  They would be fun for Super Bowl Day this Sunday, for a pretty Valentines dinner, or just a great snack for fruit lovers! If you can find some good strawberries anywhere, you might want to try these!
