Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large strawberries (cut in half)
- 36 blueberries
- 8 oz / 226 g cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed)
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- ½ tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Meticulously cleanse strawberries, ensuring they are impeccably dried and gently sliced lengthwise to create a stable foundation for serving.
- Cream Cheese Mixture: Whip softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture, then gently fold in whipped topping and almond extract, blending until perfectly smooth.
- Filling Application: Load the velvety mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a decorative star tip, then artfully pipe a luxurious swirl onto each strawberry’s exposed surface, creating an elegant and inviting presentation.
- Final Embellishment: Strategically nestle three blueberries into the cream cheese filling of each strawberry, adding a vibrant and patriotic touch to the delicate dessert.
- Chilling: Refrigerate the adorned strawberries for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the filling to solidify and the flavors to harmonize before presenting this delightful treat.
Notes
- Optimize Strawberry Selection: Choose large, firm, unblemished strawberries with vibrant red color for best texture and presentation.
- Prevent Moisture Interference: Ensure strawberries are completely dry before filling to avoid soggy or runny cheesecake mixture.
- Master Piping Technique: Use steady hand pressure and consistent motion when piping filling to create uniform, elegant swirls.
- Chill for Perfect Consistency: Refrigeration helps stabilize filling, enhances flavor melding, and provides ideal serving temperature.
