Strawberries are a sweet tasty treat. This strawberries and creme recipe is yummy and kid-tested and approved. It’s a perfect treat for Valentine’s Day, Kids Spa day, a birthday party, or anytime. It’s easy to make and a perfect snack that kids can help make.
Making treats with my kids brings me so much joy. I love how their eyes light up with it’s time to make a special treat.
I try to involve them as much as I can, whether it be getting the ingredients out of the cabinets, mixing, or even the feared cracking the eggs.
I love how interested they are and, as they grow, how much more they can help, even doing some recipes on their own.
This strawberries and creme dessert is a perfect recipe for my family. Asides from the cutting, they can do most of the recipe on their own. I love incorporating fruit as much as possible; although this isn’t the healthiest recipe, it’s a better snack than their usual cookies.
We love making this strawberry and creme dessert, and we hope your family will also enjoy it.
Ingredients
6 oz cream cheese (room temperature),
one teaspoon vanilla extract,
3 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar,
three drops pink food coloring or two drops red food coloring,
Ten strawberries,
sprinkles
Ziploc bag or pastry bag
Step 1:
Wash strawberries and cut the bottoms off slightly so they can stand up on the plate.
Step 2:
Add cream cheese, food coloring, vanilla, and powdered sugar mixed with a hand mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes, in a mixing bowl.
My children enjoy using the hand mixer and get excited whenever they can use it. Today was no different; they loved mixing all of the ingredients together to make this strawberry and creme dessert.
The filling should be light and fluffy when you’re finished mixing. It looks like frosting.
Step 3:
Cut the green tops off the strawberries. Using a small melon scooper, scoop out the top part of the strawberry. If you do not have a small melon scooper, you can use a knife to cut a hole in the middle of the strawberry. Never use a knife without an adult present or a parent’s permission.
Step 4:
Pour mixture into a ziplock bag, cut off the bottom corner of one side to use as a pastry bag
Step 5:
In a swirling motion, fill strawberries with filling and decorate with sprinkles. You could also cut strawberries in half long ways and then fill one side with the cream cheese filling and combine the two halves to make a strawberry sandwich. Both ways look and taste great!
