Week #2 of Weight Watcher Wednesday!
Ok you got about 8 minutes? You can whip this one up!! I was leaving for the 4th of July Weekend and I didn’t want to leave the Strawberries in the fridge as a science experiment! My sister was having her book club at her house that night..so I thought that was the perfect way to get rid of the ruby red jewels.
Cream Cheese Filled Strawberries
1 pound Strawberries, jumbo-size (about 18 strawberries)
4 oz Light cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
Preparation
Wash and dry strawberries (leave green caps on).
Using a paring knife, cut a wide v-shape out of the pointed end of each strawberry (like an open mouth); reserve cut out pieces of strawberries.
Place cut strawberries on a serving plate, green cap side down so they will be easy to fill.
Using an electric mixer, thoroughly combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl.
Chop reserved leftover bits of strawberries into tiny pieces and gently stir into cream cheese mixture with a spoon.
Fill each cut strawberry with a small amount of cream cheese mixture using a spatula or knife. Arrange filled strawberries on a serving plate, green cap side down.
Yields about 3 strawberries per serving.
Points Value: 2 for 3 strawberries
I wanted to stop by and to say “Thanks!”. If you had never mentioned the Whopper cupcakes on Where’s My Damn Answer Blog I never would have found your blog, which finally led me to The Daring Bakers!!
I finished my first challenge yesterday and it was a complete blast!
Thanks again!!

Wow, I’m getting strawberries in my CSA box this week & want to try this!
I saw something very similar to this on Paula Dean on the Food Network but as you know there is nothing “Weight Watcher” about anything she makes.
I love this more waistline considerate version and will try this one for sure…

Oh how perfect…I love this idea you genius.
What beautiful looking stuffed strawberries! I’d love these right now!
oh yeah! This looks like something similar that I used to get at Trader Joe’s although I think theirs was filled with marscapone – hey, it is the Italian cream cheese!
These look GORGEOUS!
Those looks so yummy. I think these would be perfect for a romantic dinner with the hubby.
what a lovely treat, weightwatchers or not! 🙂
Yumm, Fresh berries and cream is always a great treat! I need to get some berries 😉

Cream cheese stuffed strawberries are a good idea!
Great idea! They look delicious!
Wow! What a great idea!
Amazing looking gstrawberries. One bite treats are the best!
Just made these over the weekend and they were a big hit – This literally did take about 8 minutes.
I am now on the hunt for large strawberries so that I can make this one again!!
