These stuffed strawberries are the perfect dairy treat with Champagne or even for brunch.

Ingredients:

2 pounds of fresh strawberries, washed and dried

8 oz. softened cream cheese

1/2 cup powdered sugar

White dipping chocolate

½ teaspoon vanilla

vanilla sugar or colored sugar for dipping

Procedure:

Remove the strawberry tops, taking a bit of the inside with it. Slice a small layer off the bottoms of the strawberries, so the strawberries will stand straight up. Combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla and ¼ cup of the powdered sugar, adding more sugar only until you have reached the desired sweetness. With a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with one corner snipped off, pipe a small amount of the cheese into each strawberry. Prepare dipping chocolate and dip each strawberry, cheese portion first. If desired, dip again in colored or vanilla sugar, and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
