Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash 12 large strawberries under cool running water and pat them dry. Cut a deep 'X' into the tip of each strawberry to create a pocket for the filling.
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and almond extract with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Transfer the filling into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Fill each strawberry pocket with about 2 teaspoons of the cheesecake mixture.
Optionally sprinkle with grated chocolate for elegance.
Chill the filled strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Arrange the strawberries on a dessert platter and serve fresh.
