How To Make cheesecake strawberries!!!

  • Step 1
    Wash and dry berries. Slice off stem end. Using a sharp paring knife, slice an "x" deep into berries without cutting all the way down. (depending on the size of berries). A word to the lazy: an alternate way of serving this would be to quarter or slice the strawberries and serve the filling in a small dish. The filling can be spooned over the cut strawberries. Slicing the strawberries and using them as scoops for the filling works well too.
  • Step 2
    Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. If you are using Cool Whip you get to skip this step!
  • Step 3
    In a separate bowl, combine milk and pudding. Beat for 2 minutes. Add almond extract and whipped cream. Fit a pastry bag with a #10 or #12 round tip. I was in a hurry, so I just cut off the tip of the bag...
  • Step 4
    Fill pastry bag with pudding mixture. Pipe pudding into strawberries, spreading petals open with fingers to allow more cream to fit.
