This is a re-post of a recipe made last year, but it was so good, I had to bring it up again! It’s a perfect 4th of July recipe and it’s healthy and delicious. Sure, pie and such are popular on Independence Day, but you can’t beat this. You get your sweet fix without the heaviness of the usual foods. This special dish involves fruit, dairy, and happiness and doesn’t take longer than 15-20 minutes to make! I got it from here and added a bit of lemon into it and took out some sugar.
Beautiful sight
Hard not to eat it all
Yum yum yum
Stuffed Strawberries

A healthy treat for the 4th of July
Prep Time
15 min
Ingredients
- a tin of strawberries (I just usually get the regular pound at the grocery)
- a tin of blueberries (same thing)
- 5 oz marscapone
- juice of a lemon
- lemon zest
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the fruit and pat dry all of it
- Take the strawberries and cut the green ends off and also a little portion of the tip so they can stand upright on a platter
- Take a melon baller and ball out of the bottom, creating a crevasse.
- Once your strawberries are all "pitted" and plated, let's turn to the filling. Put 5 ounces of marscapone cheese and put it in a small-medium bowl
- I would next do the lemon juice. Cut the lemon in half and squeeeeeze all that juice out.
- Next, grind the lemon on a grater and get a good amount of zest (people say 1 tsp, but I eyeball it)
- Then, throw the powdered sugar and vanilla in and stir! Mix it all up really well
- Now comes the most difficult part: take the marscapone mixture and put it into a re-sealable bag and snip a corner off. Use this contraption to fill the pits in the strawberries up with the mixture
- Once all the strawberries are filled to perfection, place the blueberries on top of the cream in the strawberries. And that's it!
