Saw variations on these berries quite a few times on Pinterest, and thought they’d be perfect for Memorial Day. They were. *grin*
We ended up loosely following the directions here. Cut the bottom and top off 2 dozen strawberries, then use a small melon baller to scoop a hole inside each berry.
Beat together 8oz mascarpone cheese, 3 TB powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla. Then let your helper lick the beaters (of course):
Stuff the mixture into a pastry bag (or ziploc bag with the tip cut off). Saw a neat unrelated glass trick (also on Pinterest) to hold a bag while filling. Genius:
Squeeze a dab of the creamy mixture inside each strawberry, then top with a blueberry:
Store in the fridge.
Yum, these were so delish, and definitely easy! We’ll be making them again for the 4th of July for sure!
If you’d like to see other ideas I’ve pinned for our 4th of July party, they’re here.

Very cute!! I'll practice my piping skills. :o)
ReplyDeleteI clicked your Pinterest link but got as far of the bacon wrapped hot dogs and could go no further as I was dreaming of their yumminess!
so OBVIOUS that you have children to satisfy your party desires..... <3
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that?! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great idea!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... YUM! Gotta try those, we LOVE berries around here :)
ReplyDeleteCute! Apparently I was only following a couple of your boards, and I had to choose them all individually to "Follow All". They look awesome, even if I had to look like a stalker hitting "Follow", "Follow", "Follow"...
ReplyDeleteLove those! Tiny things filled with delicious goodness are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

You've got amazing will power. I would have eaten each one as it was made. From hand to mouth...every single one of them. Yum!
ReplyDeleteAnd it is good moms who actually turn the beaters off before lettig the kids lick them
ReplyDeleteAnother good filling is to mix 8oz cream cheese and a jar of marshmallow fluff. Sounds kind of weird and gross but it's so good.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound weird to me -- sounds like something I'd LOVE. Mmmmm.
DeleteI use that mixture as a fruit dip all the time. It's AWESOME. You can easily eat the whole thing in one sitting. LOL!
DeleteWhat an awesome idea! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Thanks for the filling piping bag tip! Too bad my little one is allergic to strawberries! Hmmm what else can she fill instead?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that looks DELICIOUS. But maybe hard to scoop out the strawberries? Totally worth it, though, I bet.
ReplyDeleteYummm
Hi Blythe, not hard at all if you have a small melon-baller. Cuts a little round hole like butter. :-)
DeleteYou are killing me! Food!!!! I need good food....I am coming to your house.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect idea for Jubilee weekend!
ReplyDeleteSaw this and went to my fridge with high hopes. Of course there's no mascarpone cheese in there, but I found strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream. Not a bad substitute! My 5 yr old ate 4 as I made them. I'm not telling you how many I ate. :)
