Happy 235th Birthday America! Thanks to my dear friend, Bev Cox, in Orlando, FL, I learned about this fabulous strawberry recipe and made some for our July 4th celebration in Fort Myers. Bev makes these with cream cheese. I substituted low fat ricotta as I wanted a cannoli-type filling. Thanks Bev for such a yummy treat!
Patriotic Strawberries
1 8oz container of low fat ricotta
2 T powdered sugar (more if you like it sweeter)
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 dozen strawberries
1 pkg fresh blueberries
1. Cut small slice off bottom of each strawberry so the berry sits upright.
2. Mix ricotta, sugar, and vanilla together.
3. Hull each strawberry, cut around top, and scoop out about 1/3 of the berry.
4. Place dollop of ricotta mixture into berry and top with a blueberry.
