12 large, fresh strawberries, rinsed
1 - 3 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar (for those lowcarbing, use Splenda)
1 tbsp sour cream
*A few drops of almond oil to YOUR taste!
Variation: Use strawberry flavored cream cheese for added sweetness.
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 a 1/4 inch of base. Cut each half into three wedges to form 6 petals. (Don't slice through the base.) Pull petals apart slightly.
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients until until light and fluffy. With a pastry bag and star tip or small spoon, fill strawberries with cream cheese mixture.
Note: A zipper sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag by filling with cream cheese mixture and squeezing out excess air before sealing. Carefully cut one corner off of the bottom of the bag.
