Ingredients
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, very cold
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
- 16 large fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Combine the mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and vanilla seeds in the bowl of a stand mixer and whip until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Stand the strawberries upright on a platter. If the bottoms are too wobbly to stand, slice off the green stems. With a small sharp knife, cut an “X” in each strawberry, cutting almost to the bottom. (The cut should be such that the strawberry will open up but not fall apart.) With your fingertips, gently spread each strawberry apart to make “petals.”
- With a spoon, carefully fill each strawberry with a dollop of cream. Serve immediately.

Reviews
I made this several times, I add just a wee bit more powdered sugar but overall, love it!!! Love Strawberries! Thanks Bobby
Did anyone notice that the cream is in a pastry bag on the side and then you fill the strawberries with a spoon? It sounds delicious however the strawberry is filled. Will try on Sunday brunch.
I’m addicted! I’ve made them twice this week. Actually the second time I just dipped the strawberries. Also I’m going to use this as a filling for crepes. I’ll be making this as a dessert for Thanksgiving.
This was easy to put together and make. It’s a very light cream mixture, but the taste is sophisticated (especially with the price of vanilla and whole vanilla bean). It was not overly sweet so I ended up adding just a little more confectioners sugar to the mix. It piped beautifully and was so fresh tasting. These stuffed strawberries were enjoyed by all at the party.
