Independence Day Strawberry Dessert Recipe
Looking for an easy dessert recipe for the 4th of July? Try this yummy and patriotic treat! Strawberries filled with homemade cream cheese frosting and topped with a blueberry make for the perfect one bite, no bake dish.
Wash strawberries and blueberries and place on a paper towel to dry.
While fruit is drying, prepare cream cheese frosting. Add butter and cream cheese to mixer and beat until combined and fluffy.
Add vanilla, a pinch or two of salt and slowly add powdered sugar. Add about 1/4 cup at a time to avoid a mess! If you'd like your frosting to be sweeter vs. tangier, add more sugar. Combine with mixer.
Pat any remaining moisture off of the fruit. Cut the tops off of the strawberries.
Using a small melon-baller, or carefully with a paring knife, scoop out the inside of the strawberry. Pat the top dry again. The frosting will stay best on a dry surface.
Fill a gallon sized zipper storage bag with the frosting and cut the tip off of the bag to pipe the frosting. I made 20 strawberries with this recipe, but there is plenty of leftover frosting to make more!
Pipe strawberries full of frosting and swirl it around the top as well. About 1/2 inch of frosting should sit nicely on top of the berry.
Top with a blueberry and repeat with the rest of your berries!
