Ingredients

• 20 whole large strawberries with tops cut off


• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened


• ¼ cup powdered sugar


• ¼ teaspoon vanilla or almond extract


• 2/3 cup Chopped pecans

Preparation

1. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each strawberry so the berries stand upright.


2. Place berries, cut side down, on a serving latter.


3. Carefully cut the berries into 4 wedges, cutting almost to, but not through, the bottoms with a criss-cross cut.


4. Fan wedges just slightly, taking care not to break them.


5. Set aside.


6. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until combined but still stiff.


7. Using a teaspoon or pastry bag with a decorative tip, fill the strawberries with the cream cheese mixture.


8. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top and refrigerate until ready to serve.
