  • Ingredients:
  • 8 ounce cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 cupcake tins with 36 cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl blend butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time until well combined add the milk and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients.
  • Mix until batter is light and fluffy. Batter will be thick.
  • Fill cupcake liners 1/2 full (don’t fill the liners any more, or the cupcakes will rise too high and make a BIG mess).
  • Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Once cupcakes have cooled, hollow out some of the center of the cupcake, cut the tops off the strawberries and insert into the hollow area.
  • Cover with frosting.

Directions:

  • Using the whisk attachment combine the cream cheese, sugar and extracts until well combined. While the mixture is still whipping, slowly pour in the heavy cream.
  • Stop and scrape the bottom of the bowl a couple of times.
  • Whip until the cream can hold a stiff peak.
