Ingredients

1. 1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese
2. 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
3. 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
4. 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
5. 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
6. 20 large strawberries
7. Garnish: fresh lime zest

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine cheese, confectioners’ sugar, basil, lime zest, and lime juice, stirring until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Stand strawberries on their stem ends. Using a paring knife, make 2 intersecting cuts in each strawberry, keeping base in tact. On each quarter of strawberry, make a small cut, angling the knife slightly inward.
3. Transfer cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with an open-star tip (Wilton #32). Pipe cheese mixture into center of each strawberry.
4. Garnish with additional lime zest, if desired.

Notes

1. • Strawberries can be made 2 hours in advance, lightly covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated until needed.
