Common Questions About Cooking

→ How far ahead can I make these?
Best made the same day, but you can prep the filling and clean berries a day ahead. Fill just before serving.
→ Why is my filling runny?
Make sure cream cheese is just softened, not melted. Beat well and chill filling if needed before piping.
→ Can I use frozen strawberries?
Fresh strawberries work best. Frozen berries get too soft when thawed and won't hold the filling well.
→ How do I store leftovers?
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The berries may get softer over time.
→ What's the best way to fill them?
A piping bag works best, but a small spoon works too. Just make sure to hollow out enough space in the berries.
