Instructions

Thoroughly wash and rinse strawberries.
Cut off the top of the strawberries. Use paring knife or melon baller to hollow out a small hole in the center of the strawberries.
To be on the safe side slightly cut the bottoms off so that they can sit flat in an upright position.
Beat or mix together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and almond extract. Place into a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe into each strawberry.
Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave, stirring frequently every 20-30 seconds. So that is doesn’t scorch or burn. It usually takes about 2 minutes.
Stir the chocolate continuously until it is smooth, shiny, and completely melted.
Spoon chocolate into a plastic bag and cut a small hole in the corner or just use a skewer or tooth pick to drizzle the melted chocolate over the strawberries.
Refrigerate until serving time.
