Ingredients
8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1 to 2 pounds large, ripe strawberries
Gel food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, green)
Easter-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
1. Gently wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry.
2. Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and carefully scooping out a small cavity in the center.
3. Slice a tiny bit off the bottom of each strawberry so they can stand upright.
4. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a mixer until completely smooth.
5. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat on low speed until well combined.
6. Mix in heavy cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches a pipeable, frosting-like consistency.
7. Divide the filling evenly into small bowls, one for each color.
8. Add a drop of gel food coloring to each bowl and stir until evenly distributed.
9. Transfer each colored filling into a separate piping bag.
10. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, creating a swirl on top.
11. If using, add sprinkles immediately after piping.
12. Arrange the stuffed strawberries on a platter and chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
Notes
For best results, use large, firm strawberries and ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling. These are best enjoyed the day they are made.
