Strawberries Stuffed with Cranberry Mascarone

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped (I use a food processor)
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (I use Cointreau) or 1 tablespoon orange juice (I use Cointreau)
• 12 large strawberries, halved (leave green tops on or off)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine mascarpone cheese, dried cranberries, orange zest, and liqueur in a bowl.
2
Pipe the cheese mixture onto the strawberry halves using a pastry bag fitted with an open star tip. The tip should be large enough so the cranberry bits do no clog the tip.
3
Chill then serve.
