Red + White + Blue Stuffed Strawberries

So you guys should probably know that I single-handedly ate an entire watermelon in 2 days. I miss it already. With that said, I just can’t get enough summer fruit in my life, in my belly or in my desserts. So, I figured I’d tell you Happy Fourth of July with some patriotic berries!

Don’t bother considering these a dessert. Consider them a fruit-filled snack and eat a lot of them, ok?

Red + White + Blue Stuffed Strawberries
Recipe from The Family Kitchen

Ingredients:

  • 20-25 strawberries
  • 20-25 fresh blueberries
  • 8 oz. mascarpone cheese
  • 3 T confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 t vanilla (I used half a vanilla bean.)

Directions:

  1. Wash and dry strawberries and blueberries. Set blueberries aside. Using a small paring knife cut a cone shape into the top of the strawberry removing the stem and leaving a little nook inside. Cut the tip of the berry off so that it can stand up on a plate or tray.
  2. Using an electric mixer beat together the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Using a pastry bag or using a small plastic bag with the tip cut off, pipe the mixture into each berry and top with a fresh blueberry. Store in the fridge until time to serve.

Check out this group of berries just hangin’ out being patriotic and stuff.

  1. Megan! I’m thinking of making these for a wedding shower and was wondering if you cut a little bit of the tip off to get them to stand up like that. Or if you used witchcraft.

  2. I sure did use witchcraft! Just kidding!

    Yep! I cut a bit of the tip of the strawberries off and then they stood like champs.
