Stuffed Strawberries
(from maggiwun’s recipe box)
Unbelievably decadent. To make this really over the top, dip them in melted chocolate after stuffing them. You can get mascarpone in Italian markets and some supermarkets. It’s similar, but much more expensive than cream cheese, which could be substituted.
