Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 20 Strawberries

Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

  • Garnish: fresh lime zest

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine cheese, confectioners’ sugar, basil, lime zest, and lime juice, stirring until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Stand strawberries on their stem ends. Using a paring knife, make 2 intersecting cuts in each strawberry, keeping base in tact. On each quarter of strawberry, make a small cut, angling the knife slightly inward.
  • Transfer cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with an open-star tip (Wilton #32). Pipe cheese mixture into center of each strawberry.
  • Garnish with additional lime zest, if desired.

Notes

• Strawberries can be made 2 hours in advance, lightly covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated until needed.
