Stuffed Strawberries


First off... I must say that these strawberries are amazing. Probably the best "chick food" that Ive ever come up with in my entire life. Chocolate+fruit+cream cheese...... YUM. To die for. Craving them already just thinking about it. 

2 lbs strawberries
1/2 c. semi sweet chocolate chips
8oz cream cheese softened
2T vanilla
3/4 c (or more) of powdered sugar

Cut the bottom tips off of the strawberries after washing and cutting the green tips off. (cutting the bottom tip off... makes them stand.). When I cut the green leaves off the top I try to do it so that the top forms a V notch for the icing to sit in. After this is done put all of your strawberries into the refrigerator. Whip your cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar together until its thoroughly mixed. With an icing tip (or those cake pastry plastic decorator pumps) squeeze out just a bit of the icing mixture onto the top of each strawberry. Once these are all done put them back into the refrigerator carefully. (If you don't put them back in... the icing will melt off the top.) Get your chocolate all nice and warm and melted and then however you want to pipette a little drizzle across each strawberry. this is important.... PUT THEM BACK INTO THE REFRIGERATOR FOR A GOOD 15 MINUTES. I learned this the hard way. If they don't go RIGHT back into the fridge.... you can say goodbye to all of your icing as it melts off of the strawberries and onto your serving platter. When cooled, put on the counter and watch how quick these babies disappear!
