Author Notes: Amanda Formaro, mother of four and the WebMom at TheFamilyCorner.com shared this wonderful recipe with us. This makes a delightful light dessert or even an appetizer for a light lunch or brunch.
Ingredients: 12 large, fresh strawberries, washed
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon sour cream

fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:

Remove stems from strawberries to form a flat base. Place berries on cutting surface, pointed end facing up. With a sharp knife, carefully slice each berry in half vertically to within a 1/4 inch of base. Cut each half into three wedges to form 6 petals. (Don't slice through the base.) Pull petals apart slightly.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and sour cream; beat until light and fluffy. With a pastry bag and star tip or small spoon, fill strawberries with cream cheese mixture.

Notes & Options:
A plastic zipper sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag by filling with cream cheese mixture and squeezing out excess air before sealing. Carefully cut one corner off of the bottom of the bag and squeeze mixture out through the cut.

For added sweetness, you can use strawberry flavored cream cheese instead of plain.
