Tuesday Treat

 A couple of years ago I started a tradition of bringing a treat to share with my co-workers each Monday.  We all look forward to "Monday Treats".  For me the reward is that I get to bring something in to share with a most appreciative group....and I also get to "share" the calories....that way, I get a share, but don't over the course of the week end up eating a whole cake....pie.....whatever.   And who doesn't need something to look forward to on Mondays?  This week however, the Monday holiday meant that the treat was moved to Tuesday....and I was looking for something red, white and blue.  Sorry I didn't get a picture of these plated....this was when I was ready to pop them back in the refrigerator for about an hour before I left for work.





I figured that cream stuffed strawberries topped with blueberries fit the bill just perfectly!  Don't you agree?  Thought I would share the recipe for any upcoming patriotic events....and of course, you can always leave off the blueberries too.

Here's the recipe:

1  (3.4) oz) pkg coconut cream instant pudding mix (or flavor of choice)
3/4 C. sour cream
1/4 C. heavy whipping cream
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese softened
3/4 C. confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
1 quart large strawberries washed and dried.

Combine pudding mix, sour cream & whipping cream.  Beat with mixer on med. speed.  Lower the speed to low and add cream cheese, confectioners sugar & extract.  Beat until well combined.  Cover & refrigerate 30 minutes.  With stem side down, make 2 vertical cuts from tip to about 1/4 inch from the stem end.  Spread apart to form petals.  Spoon or pipe filling into each strawberry.

Take this in for an office treat and you'll be everybody's favorite co-worker....at least until they're all gobbled up!
