This is a fun dish to prepare. I made this for a baby shower once and it really made the table look nice. Everyone loves strawberries and this filling is so yummy:)
30 medium to large perfect strawberries
11 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 teapsoon almond extract
2 tablespoons finely grated semisweet or milk chocolate
Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each strawberry, so the berry will stand upright without wobbling. Place the berries, cut side down on a serving platter. Cut each berry, without cutting through, into 4 wedges. Cut almost to the bottom, but do not cut completely through. Fan wedges slightly apart, taking care not to break; set aside.
Combine cream cheese, sugar and almond extract in a mixing bowl. Using a hand held mixer at medium speed, beat until light and fluffy. Fold in the grated chocolate. Spoon mixture into a decorating bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe cream cheese mixture into center of each berry. Chill until ready to serve.
