Fucking delicious stuffed, chocolate-dipped strawberries.
I made these last night for a friend's party, and they were so good I just had to share the recipe. However, as usual I didn't actually measure anything, so the amounts are just approximations.
Ingredients:
Strawberries (1 quart)
Cream cheese or neufch atel (~ 4 oz)
Powdered sugar (maybe a few tablespoons?)

Powdered sugar (maybe a few tablespoons?)
Vanilla extract ( >1 tsp)
Bittersweet chocolate (enough to dip the berries)
Amaretto liqueur ( > a shot, to taste)
Almonds, chopped
Now do it:
Wash and hollow out the strawberries, so there's a decent amount of space for filling.

Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and amaretto liqueur in a bowl.
Stir until smooth (you might need to let the cream cheese warm up a little).
Grate chocolate shavings into the mixture and mix em in.
Spoon the filling into the strawberries, and set them in the fridge to chill for ~ 30 minutes.
Either dip the open tops in chopped almonds, or save them to coat the strawberries after dipping.

Melt the rest of the chocolate, add a little of the amaretto once it's melted. Dip tha berries in dat shit. Roll them in chopped almonds.
Chill for ~ 15 minutes before serving so the chocolate can harden.
Enjoy!
