Chocolate Dipped Stuffed Strawberries

Happy Mother's Day!

I'd like to wish my Mother-in-law, Isabel, a very happy day this Mother's Day.

Issy, I hope it's filled with family, good food,

and your favorite wine! :)

I sent you a little surpise!

And for the rest of you, I bring...

Chocolate Dipped Stuffed Strawberries!

First, wash your berries and dry them very well,
then cut a v slice out of the bottom.

You then pipe in your stuffing of choice.

I used a Mascarpone Cream here.

But I used a chocolate cheesecake here!



Then you dip them in chocolate cut side down first.




It's a nice surprise when you bite into them and find a little cream...

or cheesecake

I took mine to a wine tasting party.

Twice.

They went with wine perfectly!

Thank you and big hugs to April of Abby Sweets for this fantastic idea.

She sold hers by the dozen last Valentines Day. ;)

Mascarpone Cream
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (125 ml) Mmascarpone*
1-2 Tbs (15-30 ml) sugar

* Mascarpone is an unfermented cheese from Italy, similar to cream cheese, that is available in the deli section of most supermarkets.

Whisk the ingredients together to form a thick, smooth cream. Refrigerate until ready to use. Makes about 1 1/2 cups (375 ml).

Enjoy!
