1. Prepare the Strawberries

• Gently rinse strawberries and pat completely dry.
• Slice off the green tops so the strawberries can stand upright.
• Using a small knife or melon baller, carefully scoop out the center of each berry to create a cavity for filling.
• Set aside on a paper towel-lined tray.

2. Make the Filling

Option A: Cream Cheese

• Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
• Add cream if needed for a pipeable texture.

Option B: Mascarpone

• Mix mascarpone, sweetener, lemon zest, and vanilla.
• Fold in whipped cream for extra lightness if desired.

Option C: Chocolate Ganache

• Heat cream until hot but not boiling.
• Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1–2 minutes.
• Stir until smooth; add butter and salt for richness.
• Let cool slightly before piping.

Option D: Yogurt Mousse

• Whisk together yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla.
• Fold in whipped cream for airy texture.

3. Fill the Strawberries

• Spoon filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a snipped corner.
• Pipe the filling neatly into each hollowed strawberry until just full or slightly over the edge in a swirl.
• For ganache, ensure it’s cooled slightly to avoid dripping too much.

4. Garnish and Decorate

• Sprinkle filled strawberries with your choice of toppings: chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, cookie crumbs, or drizzle.
• Garnish with mint leaves or a small edible flower for an elegant touch.
• Chill for 15–20 minutes if preparing ahead, or serve immediately.
