  • elocal magazine By elocal magazine

Ingredients

  • 20 medium-large strawberries, hulled for a flat base
  • 100g cream cheese
  •  4–6 teaspoons icing sugar, to taste. (you can leave it out if you prefer)
  •  40 mini dark-choc bits or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cut the top third off each berry and reserve. Stand berry bases on a serving platter.
  2. Mix cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and creamy. (Just beat the cream cheese if you don’t want it to be sweet)
  3. Pipe or spoon 1 teaspoon cream onto flat berry tops. Place reserved berry tops on top. Use the smallest piping nozzle to pipe mixture onto the tip of each strawberry ‘hat’ (pompom) and onto ‘chest’ (button). You choose how many buttons you want.
  4. Use tweezers to place 2 chocolate pieces onto each cream ‘face’ (eyes). Refrigerate until ready to serve.

This recipe can also be made using whipped cream.
