Heavenly Filled Strawberries

INGREDIENTS:

3 dozen large fresh Dickey Farms strawberries

11 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 tsp almond extract

Grated chocolate, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove stems from strawberries.

Cut a deep "x" in the tip of each berry. Gently spread berries open.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and extract until light and fluffy. Pipe or spoon about 2 tsp into each berry; if desired, sprinkle with chocolate.

Chill until serving.

Enjoy!
