Chocolate Mascarpone Strawberries
12 large strawberries with stems attached
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (optional)
Wash the strawberries and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut each in
half starting at the top stem end.
Combine the mascarpone and cream cheeses, the one-fourth cup sugar,
cocoa, milk and Grand Marnier in a bowl. Whisk or use an electric
hand mixer to thoroughly combine.
Fill a pastry bag with a star tip or snip off the end of a
resealable plastic bag and pipe a star or dollop of the mixture in
the center of the cut side of each strawberry. Sprinkle with
powdered sugar and serve.
