Recipe
Naptime’s Stuffed Strawberries with Toasted Almonds
adapted from an old recipe from my mother-in-law, source unknown
Ingredients
| 20-25 | fresh strawberries |
| 8 oz. | cream cheese |
| 3 T. | confectioners sugar |
| 1 t. | vanilla extract |
| 1 | pinch of cinnamon (optional) |
| ½ c. | sliced almonds, toasted |
Instructions
1. Wash and dry fresh strawberries. Carefully trim the bottom of each berry so that it will stand up on a plate. With a melon baller, scoop off the top and stem. The berry will be hallow inside.
2. In a mixer, whip the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy. Add confections sugar, vanilla and pinch of cinnamon. Beat until fully combined.
3. Fill a medium size Ziploc bag with the cream cheese mixture. Cut off a corner of the bag to make it function like a pastry bag.
4. Gently squeeze the cream cheese through the open corner of the bag and carefully fill each strawberry with a generous amount of cream cheese. Top each berry with 2 or 3 toasted sliced almonds. Serve.

Naptime Reviews
This is a great summer dessert or snack that everyone adores. My daughter likes to eat the cream cheese filling with her fingers first, then eats the strawberry separately.
