Strawberry Blossoms

From the Kitchen of:  Boomer
Source:  Pillsbury Show Off Desserts 1987

Remove stems from strawberries, forming a flat base. Place berries pointed end up. With a sharp knife, carefully slice berry in half verticallly though center to within 1/4 inch of base. Cut each half into 3 wedges, forming 6 petals. (Do not slice thru base). Pull petals apart slightly.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and sour cream until light and fluffy. With a pastry bag and star tip or small spoon, fill the berries with the cream cheese mixture. Garnish with mint sprig on top, if desired. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over berries as a variation.
