[Hj]

12 strawberries large fresh washed
3 ozs. cream cheese softened
2 T. confectioner's sugar
1 T. sour cream

Remove stems from strawberries to form a flat base. Place berries on cutting surface- pointed end facing up. With a sharp knife- carefully slice each berry in half vertically to within 1/4 “ of base. Cut each half into three wedges to form 6 petals. (Don't slice through the base. Pull petals apart slightly.

Small bowl- combine cream cheese- powdered sugar ñ sour cream- beat until light ñ fluffy.

Fill a pastry bag* fitted with a star tip- fill strawberries with cream cheese mixture.

* A plastic zipper sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag, just filling with cream cheese mixture and squeezing out excess air before sealing. Carefully cut one corner off of the bottom of the bag and squeeze mixture out through the cut.

For added sweetness- use strawberry flavored cream cheese instead of plain.

Or use 8 ounces softened cream cheese with a jar of marshmallow fluff until smooth ñ creamy. Either stir in fresh strawberries or use as a dessert dip for fresh strawberries.
