There's no better time than now, during the height of picking season, to celebrate the great taste of fresh strawberries. It takes only a couple of minutes to turn a pint of them into a festive, mouthwatering treat for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup colored sugar
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons confectioners sugar
- 4 teaspoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the whole berries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fill a shallow bowl with colored sugar (you can buy this at the grocery store or mix your own by stirring two drops of food coloring into 1/4 cup of sugar).
- In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla extract with a fork until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
- Holding the berries by their stems, your kids can dip them into the cream cheese mixture, roll them in the sugar, and enjoy.
