Berries and Cream with a twist.

 

One of my favourite summer deserts. Simple to make, just like every recipe I post, and not too bad on the calories.

 

 

 

Please forgive my presentation- I do need to work on my piping skills.

 

All you need is:

 

Strawberries

Chocolate sauce

Creme Cheese

Whipped Cream

 

Wash the berries and cut out the stem

 

 

Cut the base so that they stay up straight

 

 

 

 

 

Fill a piping bag with a mixture of cream cheese and whipping cream. I usUally add more cream cheese than whipped but if you want a fluffier consistency do the opposite.

 

 

Make an X cut in the top of the strawberry and pipe the filling in slowly.

 

 

 

Repeat with all the berries and after arranging them on a platter, drizzle chocolate sauce and cool in the fridge over night or for a few hours.

Takes about 30 minutes to make and can be served in an hour of chilling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cloudy with a chance of...Meatballs

Finally, I have tasted the savoury cheesy meatballs that have been popping up in every NYC food bloggers' Instagram posts.

 Located in Greenwich Village, NYC: 510 Sixth Ave. nr. 13th and 14th

This magical take out window is less than a year old, but already has a large fan following...and now I am one too- OBSESSED. 

The homemade sauce is simple but delicious, the cheese melts beautifully and the foccaccia bread is so fresh that I ended up getting 2 pieces. 

So, if you are ever starving in NYC: pick up a double meatball in a cup ($7) with extra cheese and you won't regret it!
