Strawberries With Cream Cheese Filling - cooking recipe

Ingredients

32 fresh strawberries
11 -12 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each strawberry, allowing the berries to stand upright on flattened end.
Place berries, cut side down, on a serving platter.
Cut each berry carefully into 4 wedges, cutting almost to, but not through, bottoms.
Fan wedges just slightly, taking care not to break; set berries aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and almond extract until light and fluffy.
Gently fold in grated chocolate.
Spoon mixture into a decorating bag fitted with a large decorative tip.
Press cream cheese mixture into center of each berry. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
