Description

I bought some of the BEST strawberries at the market a few days ago. I wanted to do them *justice*, and not shortchange them by only adding whipped cream! LOL!
So......I stuffed them! My mom used to do this when I was growing up. She called them *special dessert strawberries*

Easy and quick.

Ingredients

  • 6 strawberries
  • 1 ds vanilla
  • 2 drp sf sweetner
  • 2 T Cream Cheese

Instructions

 I DO save the bottoms and mince them to put in the cream cheese for a pretty pink color, but if you wanted *all white*, then just eat the bottoms as you remove them!!
Core the berries as well after washing and patting dry.

I use about 2 Tbsp cream cheese for 6 large berries; add a few drops of liquid splenda, and a drop or 2 of vanilla. Stuff each berry and top with a dob of whipped cream....and, yes...I ate them all for lunch!!!

Lots of great variations on this recipe can be found in the LC Cooking Forum.

Notes

Using Liquid Splenda (aka Sweetzfree or Fiberfit) sweetens the filling without adding unwanted carbs. Nutritionals are for 2 Strawberries.
