My only suggestion is not to make this too far in advance. The strawberries tend to get mushy overnight. Make only a few hours before serving

I followed this recipe verbatim. The filling was delicious -- loved the almond extract. However, I must be a real dummy/klutz in the kitchen. I had a very hard time "stuffing" the berries. My husband and I were both laughing because they kept splitting apart and I would put those on a different plate -- as duds. Instead of having about 25 pretty filled strawberries, I only had about 18 filled! We ended up dipping the split berries for our dessert. I'm going to take these to a little get together, but I'm just going to put cocktails picks in the strawberries and put the dip in a pretty glass bowl! -- It works for me :-)

I make 2 versions of this recipe. I will either stuff them with cheesecake (pre-made - just scoop!) or canoli dip which consists of ricotta cheese, confectionary sugar and vanilla then I dip the tops in melted chocolate....delicious!

Wonderful, simple recipe! I added a little more sugar than called for, but other than that, made as the recipe called for. This will be added to my go to luncheon recipes!

Loved these! I liked the almond flavoring but next time I am going to divide the sugar mixture and use vanilla flavoring as well as lemon flavoring as suggested. Thanks!

Is the servings count accurate? It just seems that 36 berries is/are a lot from 1 pound of strawberries... well, unless they were smaller than the ones usually available to me.

Have a similar recipe from McCall's cookbook that i have been using for about 20 years....except it uses Lemon Extract instead of almond. I added a bit by topping it with a touch of of very finely crushed lemon drop candy instead of chocolate.

So easy to make, and very good! I used reduced fat cream cheese.

I have made this exactly and with a white chocolate-cream cheese icing. I replaced 3 oz of the cream cheese with unsalted butter (1/2 stick) and replaced the sugar with 3oz of melted white chocolate. If the little bit of butter is a concern for some, use light cream cheese. I am not one who is crazy about white chocolate but the cream cheese tones done the sweetness and it is really good with the strawberries. Plus, if you wish, you can omit the sprinkling of grated chocolate.
