Strawberries with Cream Cheese Filling

\
These pretty strawberries are cut to resemble flower petals then stuffed with sweetened cream cheese.

Ingredients:

•32 fresh whole strawberries, large
•11 to 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
•1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
•1/4 teaspoon almond extract
•2 tablespoons semisweet or milk chocolate, grated
Preparation:
Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each strawberry,
allowing the berries to stand upright on flattened end.
Place berries, cut side down, on a serving platter.
Cut each berry carefully into 4 wedges, cutting almost to,
but not through, bottoms. Fan wedges just slightly,
taking care not to break; set berries aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar,
and almond extract until light and fluffy. Gently fold in grated chocolate.
Using a teaspoon or decorating bag with decorative tip, fill the strawberries.
If desired, sprinkle with a little more grated chocolate.
Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Makes about 32 filled strawberries.
