Easy Fourth of July Treats

June 26, 2014

One of my favorite things about the Fourth is the food, of course! Below are the festive treats I plan on making again this year that are SIMPLE and use some of the same ingredients, keeping it cost effective as well.

Ingredients

1-2 packages of strawberries

8 ounces of cream cheese

1/3 – 1/2 cup powdered sugar (depending how sweet you like it)

1 ts vanilla extract

1/2 cup Blueberries (Or as many berries as you make)

Directions: Cut the top and bottom off of the strawberry so that they will stand on their own. Scoop out the insides. Cream the softened cream cheese with a paddle attachment and slowly add in the powdered sugar until you achieve the desired taste and then add in the vanilla.  Place in a Ziplock bag, cut the tip and pipe into strawberries. Finish with a blueberry on top!

Some of these cones were filled with yummy ice cream and some with yogurt and berries. I froze some of them to make it easier to eat for the kids and it made it much easier!
