12 large, fresh strawberries, rinsed
1 - 3 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tbsp sour cream

Remove stems from strawberries to form a flat base. Place berries on
cutting surface,
pointed end facing up. With a sharp knife, carefully slice each berry
in half vertically
to
within a 1/4 inch of base. Cut each half into three wedges to form 6
petals. (Don't slice
through the base.) Pull petals apart slightly.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and sour cream;
beat until
light and fluffy. With a pastry bag and star tip or small spoon, fill
strawberries with
cream cheese mixture.

Note: A zipper sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag by
filling with cream cheese mixture and squeezing out excess air before sealing.
Carefully cut one corner off of the bottom of the bag.

Variation: Use strawberry flavored cream cheese for added sweetness.
