Stuffed Strawberries

I am giving this 5 stars but I think that was due to the fact that I dipped the stuffed strawberries in chocolate(just melted choc semi sweet morsels with a dab of veg oil). Ohh my how good they were and how people raved about them. The filling itself I used only 1 tbsp grand marnier liqueur and found it waaaay to overpowering so I added in a little extra sugar, and a few tbsp of fluff and grated in some nice semi sweet chocolate. That was good but next I think I'll skip the liqueur and add in some vanilla bean or almond extract. I would only give 4 stars as is but DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE..they are fabulous. I bet adding mini choc chips to the stuffing would be great too! This def is a great recipe that you can experiment with.***update..I now have made with the vanilla bean and/or extract on they are TO DIE FOR!!

I think these tasted best after being refrigerated. Instead of criss-crossing the cut on the point of the strawberry, I cut "out" a small triangle wedge before putting in the cream. This was much easier that pulling the strawberry open to get the cream in..plus then it didn't try and squish out. I used orange extract in place of the liqueor.

So very delicious!!! I made a few modifications. I didn't understand how the strawberries should be cut from the directions given, so I sliced them in half and piped the cheese over them. I used neufchatel cheese and shaved half a Hershey's extra dark almond, cranberry, and blueberry chocolate bar into the mixture. Not having orange liqueur on hand, I replaced it with a teaspoon of vanilla extract and only used 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. My husband absolutely loved these and said this was the best quick dessert I've ever made! Thanks!!!

Five stars for a quick, easy, lovely and delicious dessert. I made just enough for Hubs and me and subbed Amaretto for the orange flavored liqueur, which I'm not a fan of. I made beautiful presentations on individual dessert plates, placing two each on top of baked triangles of puff pastry (Pepperidge Farm), drizzling each with some warmed ganache I had on hand in the fridge, a sprinkling of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of fresh mint. "Gourmet" dessert in a hurry!

I make two criss cross cuts in the strawberries. It creates a better pocket for the filling. They look like pretty flowers on a platter. I make these for bridal and baby showers all the time. Simple yet elegant!

This recipe is so easy to make and tastes GREAT! I made this for my sister's Wedding shower and everyone absolutely loved them. What I love about it is they're so easy to make. Just be careful not to beat the cream cheese mixture too much (just until uniform) because when piping it will not keep its shape. Next time I think I'll add a little more Cointreau to give it more flavour. This recipe is absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks IMVINTAGE!!!

These were very good. I made them to bring to a party. It agree with other reviewers, a pastry tip would have made it easier to fill. I used a plastic bag with an end cut off. I topped them off with milk chocolate. I put that in a small plastic bag too and drizzled it over the top. They look like it took me a long time to make, but it was a quick and easy dessert. YUM!

SOOOOOO good! I made these for my daughter's Strawberry Shortcake themed b-day party and these were a BIG hit! I used a little almond extract instead of orange liquor. If you cut around the stem, you end up with a nice 'pocket' for filling. Thanks for posting!

WOW! What a tasty treat!!! And definitely add the chocolate! However one pint of strawberries is not near enough! I was making this for a super bowl party and I used four pints of strawberries, 2 boxes of cream cheese, 1 cup of confectioners sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and added 1 tub (8 oz) of whip cream. I also used vanilla extract, 4 tbsp. The cool whip makes this more fluffy. Just a tip: Lay out your cookie sheet, cover with a sheet of wax paper, cut the fruit and fill them with the filling, then put them in the freezer while you melt your chocolate. I used two boxes of semi sweet bakers with about 2 tbsp of veg oil to melt. Also a tip for melting chocolate: in a bigger saucepan (3 qts) boil about 3 inches or so of water, then insert a smaller saucepan with the chocolate pieces. This will prevent the chocolate from burning or melting unevenly. Drizzle over the hardened strawberries with a spoon (LIGHTLY, too much chocolate takes away from the flavor of the filling) and put back in freezer for at least 30 mins. DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Quite tasty! I used orange extract rather than liqueur and it turned out great! Served it with some chocolate syrup and it was delicious! Thanks!

To those of you substituting orange extract- Orange extract is MUCH stronger than orange liqueur, so even halving the amount will be FAR too much! Only 1/4 of a teaspoon or even less would be needed of the orange extract! Hope this helps those of you complaining that the orange flavor is far too strong!

Fabulous! I can't believe I waited this long to try them. I used vanilla in place of orange liqueur and they tasted just like cheesecake :) I levelled the bottoms of my strawberries, scooped out the middle and filled that way. I couldn't keep my 7-year old out of them. These will make regular appearances at our house this summer!

These were very good. I used vanilla extract instead of the orange flavored liqueur. Next time I might try the orange. I highly advise using a clear extract if substituting because the regular brown extract will discolor the cream cheese. Wilton makes a clear that can be found at any craft store or cake decorating supplier. I cut my strawberries criss cross and piped in the filling which worked well.

This makes a great 4th of July dessert by adding a blueberry to the top. A family favorite.

WOW. YUMMY! The 'stuffing' that goes inside is awesome! We loved it. I used orange juice versus the liquer since I made this for my kids. I have to admit I did not have the patience to "stuff" but only a couple strawberries. I just cut up the strawberries and the kids used the 'stuffing' as a 'dip'. This is a great dip for any kind of fruit and I will be making it often.

Everyone loved these! I actually cut a small tip off the bottom of the strawberries than hulled out the top and stuffed them that way.

These turned out pretty well. They looked really nice sitting on a platter and they were gone at the end of the party. next time I will add some whipped cream to it so the filling isn't so heavy.

Stuffed strawberries are an elegant dessert and wonderful tasting. However, the amount of liqueur in this recipe is far too much in my opinion. I only added one teaspoon and that was fine before becoming bitter. If you prefer more, I suggest adding 1/2 teas. at a time until you are satisfied. Better safe than sorry.

And the crowd went wild!!! I made these for a wedding reception and the strawberries were the biggest hit! Instead of slicing down to fill, I used a huller to core out the top. I garnished with mint leaves dipped in chocolate, beautiful!!! and delicious!

I made these as a surprise for my son's birthday and he is over the moon! I didn't have regular cream cheese but a container of whipped. It worked fine. I also added vanilla instead of liqueur and it tasted great. Melt some chocolate chips with butter and drizzled it over the top. They are fantastic and i will certainly be making these again and again

Amazing huge hit I put blueberries on the tray around the strawberries then drizzled melted choc. over everything yummy

These were delicious & surprisingly simple. I cut a double criss-cross in the tip of the strawberries (sort of like an asterick sign), and filled the strawberries, with only 1 mistake, which was promptly popped into my mouth. I substitued 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract in place of the orange liquer, and garnished with grated Hershey's Milk Chocolate. These were yummy, not overly sweet, and very attractive. Only one problem, they disappear too quickly! I made these for my sweetie for Valentine's Day, but these will probably make an appearance at various parties in the future. I just have a feeling that these will become a Valentine's Day staple.

This is so easy and perfect for any occasion! I made a few adjustments though. Instead of cutting the bottoms, I cored the tops, which left perfect space for the filling and then people weren't left with the tops when eating them. I also used vanilla extract instead of orange liqueur. There have been a few times when I have sprinkled the top with graham cracker crumbs and it tastes just like cheesecake! I also put a blueberry on the top of each for 4th of July!

This called for orange flavored liqueur, so I used Gran Marnier which I thought overpowered the sweetened delicate cream cheese filling. These make a very elegant presentation, and I will make again, but IMO, amaretto would be a much better choice for the liqueur. I will start will half of what the recipe calls for, taste, and then add the rest if needed.

These are delicious and so easy to make. Be sure to read the most helpful review for proper cutting directions. I left out the liqueur and used the zest of half a lemon instead. Don't be afraid to pull the cut sections apart - I didn't lose one berry and it was very easy. The more filling you can get in there the better. The possibilities with this recipe are endless. Great ideas from lots of reviewers!

This is decadence on steroids!! I dipped some in melted chocolate candy coating and vanilla candy coating and they didn't last long enough to get a photo. This super fast, easy, and delicious dessert will make a believer out of the biggest dessert skeptic!

I make this recipe by cheating somewhat. I use Philly's Ready Cheesecake instead of mixing it up myself. But I've been worried about what to do if they decide to discontinue that item, so now I can use this easy recipe just in case! This is a great quick snack that my picky hubby loves. It's like a quick bite of strawberry cheesecake. Sometimes I dip them in chocolate, sometimes I don't. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

Great dessert! Like others, I melted milk chocolate chips and drizzled over the stuffed berries. My daughter and her fiance loved them but would not take home the leftovers (self-preservation)! Thank you for a great recipe.

YUM! YUM! YUM! I drizzled some melted chocolate over the finished berries and it only made it better. I didn't use the liqueur but added some vanilla. A real keeper.

These are so much easier to make than I imagined. Definitely follow the intructions to make the cross cut in the strawberry. I found these very easy to fill using a pastry bag with a large star tip. Once the tip was down in the strawberry, all I did was squeeze and lift the bag out. These turned out beautifully and would be an impressive addition to any table. Plus, they taste great. Kids enjoyed these just as well as adults. Thanks for a great idea!

I love to make these for social get togethers. I also like to change up the flavor with almond or vanilla instead of the orange liquer. They're so easy to make and they really make a nice presentation when you pipe the filling in and dust with a bit of cocoa or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

I made these for my ladies Bunco night (along with chocolate covered strawberries). Instead of 2 TBS orange flavor liqueur, I put a 1 TBS of Kahula, 1 TBS Baileys Irish Cream and 1 TBS Absolute Vodka. After stuffing the berries, I used the leftover melted chocolate from dipping the berries (placed in a baggie and snipped a very small corner off the baggie) and drizzled chocolate on top. Almost too pretty to eat and the ladies loved these!!

Mmmmmmm......Very good. Try with some chocolate flakes added to the mix.

I THINK THE FILLING WAS AWESOME EVERYONE LOVED IT BUT THE CUTTING OF THE STRAWBERRIES WAS A BIT PUZZLING TO ME AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT, IT LOOKED STRANGE NOT VERY APPEALING, SO I PUT THE REST OF THE FILLING IN A BOWL, AND CUT THE TOPS OFF THE STRAWBERRIES AND PLACED IT ON A PLATE, THEY WERE A HIT. ALTHOUGH THE OTHER THING I CHANGED WAS ADDING ANOTHER HALF OF CREAM CHEESE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE ORANGE WAS OVERPOWERING. AND SO I ADDED THE EXTRA CREAM CHEESE TO OVER THROS THE ORANGE. BUT OVERALL THE FILLING WAS THE BOMB! Thanks Imvintage for sharing your recipe! WILL BE MAKING AGAIN!

Though I didn't eat any, I did get good reviews from my family for this treat. The only negative I would have for it would be they get messy on the plate very quickly. Otherwise, people ate them up and loved them. I made with vanilla instead of liquor...this may have been a mistake (and it's why I still gave 5 star!) They looked beautiful, as well. (until they got messy!) I topped with shredded chocolate bar and lots of people liked that. Thank you for a simple, pretty presentation of sweets!

nice

These are so good. I made it exactly as the recipe was written and my husband compared them to heaven (my word since I can't type his). My sister told me I didn't make enough. I sprinkled them with cocoa powder to make them pretty.

Maybe I just don't have enough patience for these, but I didn't think the taste was worth all the work. Halfway through I ended up globbing the cream cheese mix on top of the strawberries. I did add mini chocolate chips and sprinkled with cocoa powder.

Beautiful presentation and so easy to make. With strawberries in season, I have made them twice. It's so hard not eat them as they're being made! But I managed :)

This was a really cute clever dish. I substituted orange extract for the liqueur beause it was all I had on hand. I think I would have preferred a different flavor other than the orange. Maybe vanilla next time?

My neighbor made these once for a party, but instead of the orange liquer he used Amaretto (almond flavored liquer) which was awesome!! They can definitely be messy but so worth it =}

I added some extra confectioners sugar to sweeten them a little more for my kids and called them strawberry volcanoes to make them a fun family dessert, but a good recipe to keep for a healthy dessert.

This were very good. I didnt have any or the orange liquer so I used a fill orange and it came out great. Also I cut the tops off the strawberry and carved the inside out and filled them that way. Also covered them in chocolate and it was very good and my family liked them too.

My family went wild over these! I had only made a few but had to quickly assemble many more as my guys were eating them faster than I could pipe the filling in. Fast, easy, and delicious. Excellent recipe. Thanks this is a winner!

These were so good! A little messy to make but worth it.

I have done this type of thing with a mixture for the filling made from one small jar of marshmallow cream and one pkg. of cream cheese. Just whip the two together with an electric mixer, it can also be used as a fruit dip. Absolutley fabulous.

These were amazing! A nice light dessert after a big dinner or on a warm night. They are even great the next day for breakfast.

I have used mini marshmallows to stuff mt berries and then put them on skewers that have been loaded with green grapes. Using the berry as a flower at the end makes a great boquet which I have used as edible table decor! Great recipe-Thanks

Delicious! I used a tablespoon of almond extract and vanilla extract in place of the orange flavored liqueur. Wow! I brought this to potluck and everyone devoured it!

AWESOME!!! I LOVED IT and so did everybody else! I hosted a party and people asked where I got this recipe from. If you like chocolate covered strawberries, then dipping the strawberries in chocolate definitly makes it nice, and definitly more sweeter. I could have it both ways personally. But I served them dipped in chocolate this time, and I just loved it! I didn't have anything to squeeze the sauce out of so I just served it beside the strawberries with a spoon. The sauce itself, is magnificent! It's perfect in sweetness. I loved the Grand Marnier (Triple Orange) taste. I also added a pinch of Almond extract and a pinch of Vanilla. I WILL DEFINITLY be making this again! Thanks! : )

It was good. Maybe it was just me, but the whip cream kept coming out and so it didn't hold together.

Everyone RAVED! They were as pretty as they were tasty! Although, I do have to say they were quite time consuming. I drizzled milk chocolate over them after they were stuffed. I cut the sugar in half and used 1 tsp. vanilla instead of the orange liquor.

I made these for a potluck. They were a huge hit. I made 3 dozen & they were gone in less than 30 minutes! Oh and there were less than 15 people there! They were also super quick and easy! I didn't have the orange stuff so I used homemade vanilla (YUM)! Thanks so much!

I had such hope for this recipe. It was very easy to make and they were really pretty. I followed the recipe exactly but to me the powdered sugar taste was too prominent. I took it to my parent's house and my mom loved them. I may try again with less sugar.

oh yumm! These were very good! I added amaretto instead of orange liqueur. I added a few tbs and it made my mixture a little on the thin side, so they were a little messy. But oh well we ate them with forks and they were OH SO GOOD! The amaretto flavor complimented the strawberries very well. I will next time make sure to serve them right away or closer to when we will be eating them. I made them a few hours in advance and noticed that a lot of liquid started coming out of the strawberries. These really are addicting and since they are cute little finger foods, you will be grabbing one after another until they are all gone! Cant wait to make again! Thanks for the recipe!

I made a slight change to the recipe and used a filling of cream cheese mixed with a couple of tablespoons of powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff, then added in chopped pecans and they turned out so well! Everyone has been asking for the recipe!

What a beautiful presentation this dessert makes. It’s surprisingly simple to make. It certainly is very elegant. That said, I am sure I will not make the cream cheese filling recipe again because I didn’t like the combination of the orange w/ strawberries. I thought it was to overpowering of a flavour. I’m thinking vanilla or almond extract would be better. Overall, I love the idea, the presentation and the simplicity of this recipe. I will make again. THX

Very good way to prepare strawberries. The mixture was very easy to work with to fill the strawberries. The only thing that will make mine better is when local berries come on in Indiana - May and June. The berries were shipped in and didn't hold a lot of flavor. Can't wait to try these again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I made these last night and HAD to make them again tonight because I had left over filling, and because they were just SO good! The second time I cut off the stem, cut them in half, piped the filling on top of the halves and drizzled with chocolate. We...um...kinda had them for dinner. AMAZING! (I also used white chocolate liqueur rather then orange)

I didn't have any Grand Marnier on hand so I zested 1 lime and added its juice to the mixture and my friends LOVED it.

These were good, but time-consuming. Wish the filling was thicker too, because it was very messy to work with.

Yummy!

Too strong with the liquor taste...not enough strawberry taste came through.

Ooh, these are amazing! I didn't have orange liquor so I subbed vanilla. I dipped some of them in chocolate, but honestly I prefer them plain. I'll make them again, they're an elegant treat.

So good! I've made some modifications on the suggestions of other reviews. Instead of giving it an orange flavor, I add a little vanilla & almond extract to the cream cheese. I also sprinkle graham cracker crust all over & around it. Everyone loves it!

I've made this recipe twice already and I love it - So easy and SO YUMMY! I didn't have the liqueur, so I used about a teaspoon of vanilla. Also, I used Neufchatel (reduced fat cream cheese) instead of full fat cream cheese. The first time I made these, I didn't have a piping bag, so I cut the corner off of a zip-lock bag and it worked well enough, but the piping bag definitely worked better.

I thought this was great. I made it for a friend of mine when she came to lunch. I did add a little cool whip and only made as much I needed. She loved it.

Awesome!

So Good and Easy.!!!! I Little tedious. But I Loved them.

Very quick, easy and tasty. I had to use vanilla instead of liquor though, but it turned out just fine.

Wow. What a delicious dessert! I definitely need more practice piping.. and cutting strawberries for that matter. Several went into my tummy before Hun will ever see them. I substituted 1 tsp vanilla extract as recommended, as I am not of the legal age to purchase liquer (will send Hun on an errand to buy this for me later). So easy, and very delicious. 5 stars!

I made these for a Canada Day bbq last year and everyone absolutely LOVED them! So easy to make too!!

I made these for our 4th of July BBQ; I follwed the directions exactly plus sprinkled the tops with blue sprinkles (red, white, and blue...). Silly me prepared them the night before - the next morning, the strawberries were runny and the blue sprinkles bled a bit so they didn't look as perfect as they had. Being a perfectionist, I "conveniently forgot about them" the day of the BBQ. Luckily, one of my "nosy" party guests found them in the fridge and brought them out - they were gone in no time (in fact, they were gone before I even realized they were set out!). Everyone loved them and COMPLETELY forgave the drippy-ness. My only complaint is that slicing and filling the strawberries was SLIGHTLY time consuming and messy (I had to use the sandwich bag method which was harder to work with - I think a pipette bag will help a ton). I think these were so impressive in presentation and taste (like cheesecake) that the prep issues are more than worth it. Overall, I was pleased and will make these again.

I made these using vanilla as a personal preference and they flew off the table. These are so worth the time and super easy. A big hit and they make an impressive addition to a buffet!

I have made these MANY times and I've used ALMOND extract for flavoring! YUM!!!

Great recipe! Elegant and simple, which is any busy woman's dream. My one change - Replace the orange juice with amaretto. YUM!

I like the cream cheese filling flavored with 1 tsp. vanilla extract and a 1/2 tsp of almond extarct. The easiest and fastest way to remove the stem and create a small pocket for the filling is with a small melon baller. These drizzled with a little melted chocolate are extra decadent and yummy! My family loves these a parties and get-togethers!

One Word. YUM! these were really easy to mkae, even my 5 year-old-neighbour could do it(with some assistance ofcourse). THy disappeasred really fast. I really loved the 'stuffing'. I made mine iwth vanilla and it tasted GREAT and had a wonderful consistency. Perfect for parties!

These are GONE! Amazingly tasty. Had to make another batch of them! The first time I used shaved chocolate over them and almond slices. The second time I used blueberries with them.

These were OK, but I don't think I'll make them again. We prefer plain strawberries, or strawberries with whipped cream.

Oh. My. Goodness. This is a MUST TRY!

Delicious and VERY easy

I made these for the first time yesterday and they were a big hit. After everyones recommendation to dip them in chocolate I decided to go a little further and used Godiva Chocolate Liquor in the cream cheese mix instead of the orange liquor. I found that the filling was a little too thick and difficult to pipe so I added an additional tablespoon of liquor. I had beautiful big strawberries, so I cut them in half lengthwise and scooped out the center and filled them. These will be a favorite for years!!!!!

This recipe needed a quart of strawberries to use all of the stuffing. It looked so nice, but the flavor was just ok. I think it would taste better with cream cheese and marshmallow cream.Will be making again my own way.

EXCELLENT!!

I made this for a 4th of July party. Great hit! These were gone no time. Everyone kept asking for recipes and what wonderful presentation. I did slice the strawberries criss cross style as others suggested and added vanilla extract.

I made these for my daughter's bridal shower, and they were absolutely amazing! Neither of us was keen on the orange flavoring, so I substituted vanilla instead, and also ommitted the nuts. Tons of compliments were made, and everyone went back for 2nds, 3rds, and even more. I made 2 large platters-full, and came home with them both empty. Yum!

I made these for a party the other day and they were a huge hit. I used orange juice instead of the liquor, and the taste was fantastic

I used fat free cream cheese the first time i ever made these and wasnt too thrilled about them myself but others loved them. made again for my sons birthday using neufchatel and they were a huge hit. theyre kind of a pain to stuff so i just cut both ends off, scoop out the middle and use a baby spoon to stuf the frosting into. my father in law thought these were store bought and made with regular cake frosting!

I followed some other reviewers advice and dipped them in chocolate and they were oh so good! I popped one in my mouth before dipping it and even without the chocolate they are divine!

These were delicious! I threw in some orange zest and grated German sweet chocolate over the top. I used low fat cream cheese as it's all I had on hand. That worked well, but the next time (and there WILL be a next time!) I will refrigerate the filling before piping it into the strawberries. When the filling is room temperature, it tends to "squish" out of the berry as it's piped in. Refrigerating would allow the filling to firm up, so more filling can be piped into the berries. Yum!

These tasted great which is why I gave four stars, but the recipe really only deserves two stars because I had to modify the filling so much to make it work. I don't know how everyone else's turned out, but I followed the recipe exactly and it was WAY too runny! It was spilling out the sides of the strawberries and just making a mess. I ended up turned it into cream cheese buttercream by adding a stick of butter, 1/2 cup of shortening, and about 2 or 3 cups of powdered sugar, until it was a manageable consistancy and would hold its form. They were really pretty and very well-recieved, but the recipe needs a little work.

Easy and delicious! I could've easily filled 2 pints of strawberries quite generously. I used the extra filling in raspberries, and that was really tasty and cute.

These were the best at a Super Bowl Party. Everyone loved them. I added some lemon flavoring to the cream cheese.

Using Baileys Irish Cream instead (an entire mini bottle) to this makes it so amazing. I also love dipping it in milk chocolate and putting some white chocolate chips on the filling.

This recipe was a huge hit. I changed things up a little by cutting the stems off and piped the filling through the tops then drizzled chocolate on each strawberry. VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD!

I've made this before but instead of orange liquer I used almond extract. And, sometimes use marscapone in place of cream cheese. Rather than criss-cross cut the strawberries, I trim a sliver off the peak to form a flat surface (so the berry will stand upright) and I use a melon baller to dig out the stem and center for the filling.

excellent! Used more amaretto then called for and put some chopped chocolate pieces over the top. Took these to a potluck bbq last night and everyone raved about them. Easily doubled the recipe and made a lot of these quick. As long as you me the x cut into them they stuff wonderfully and didn't have to buy a pastry bag just cut the tip off of a sandwich bag and your good to go.
