First let's prep our washed and dried strawberries. We need a flat surface so the strawberry will stand up straight. To do this take your knife and cut the tip off, creating that flat surface. Next cut the top of the strawberry off. Then we use a knife or melon ball scooper and scoop out the top of the strawberry.

Melt Our Chocolate

Next we need to melt our chocolate. I melted mine in the microwave. I used the high setting and started with 30 seconds, then I stirred the chocolate, then another 30 seconds, etc. Until the chocolate was nice and melted.

Dip Our Strawberries in the Chocolate

Now we dip our strawberries in the chocolate with the hole upwards. Then place the strawberry on your parchment paper lined cookie sheet. You can also take the chocolate dipped strawberry and put nuts, or coconut flakes, or mini chocolate chips on the chocolate dipped part.

Let Them Chill in the Fridge

Now we add our powdered sugar, and our vanilla extract to our bowl with the cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer mix the ingredients together really well, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Next we take our cream cheese mixture and place it in a piping bag, or zip locked bag, and we fill the tops of the strawberries. The star tip for the piping bag gives it an elegant look.
