Quequitos con fresa de corazón adentro
Ingredients:

1 package cake mix, chocolate 
1 package strawberries, cleaned and hulled
1 package pudding, chocolate
Fresh mint sprigs,optional but awesome

Directions:
1. Prepare cupcakes according to package and let cool. Using a paring knife, core out a well down into each cupcake, for your strawberry to fit into. Prepare your pudding accordingto the package. Let set until nice and pudding-y (solid - wet gloopy pudding will ruin the cupcakes, so don't be in a rush, let the pudding firm up!)
2. Stick the strawberry pointy side down into your cupcakes. Take the piece of the cupcake that you cut out, and place it on top of the strawberry, after you push it down into the cupcake.
3. Top liberally with pudding in leu of frosting.
4. Add asprig of mint if you like.  I think it adds a certain something, and my neighbor had some growing in her kitchen and shared…but don’t go out and buy some.
5. I cut each cutcake in half and set it on a plate, because presentation is everything with these suckers. They are DELICIOUS and super easy!

Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites
Ingredients:
* 1 Container of Strawberries
* 1 or 2 Vanilla Yogurts
Directions:
1. Rinse and dry the strawberries.
2. Cut the berries in half or evenquarters depending on what size you desire.
3. Put the yogurt(s) in a bowl to use for dipping.
4. Get out a sheet pan and line with parchment or wax paper.
5. Use a toothpick or spoon to dip the strawberries in the yogurt.
6. After dipping the berry place on the sheet pan.
7. Once you’re finished dipping all the berries, make room in the freezer and place the pan in.8. You can leave them in the freezer for a few hours (2-3) or even overnight.
*Pop them in a tupperware and leave in the freezer to snack on anytime of the day!
My Tasty Tips:
* If using larger berries add toothpicks before freezing so it’s easier to eat.
* I used Yoplait Very Vanilla and it gave the berries a sweeter, almost popsicle taste to them.
* Use greek yogurt fora thicker covering.
Enjoy!

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
½ cup (1 stick/8 Tablespoons) butter (set at room temp about 10 minutes, but should still be cool)
8 oz. cream cheese (directly from fridge)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (always use pure vanilla extract if possible)
4 cups powdered confectioners sugar
1 to 4 Tablespoons heavy cream, heavy whipping cream (or milk- although I do like therichness that cream adds)
Directions:
*Place butter in a large mixing bowl and blend slightly. Add cream cheese and blend until combined, about 30 seconds.
*Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and blend on low speed until combined. Increase to medium speed and beat until it begins to get fluffy.
*Slowly add the heavy cream, a little bit at a time until desired consistency is met. (Don’t add toomuch if you want the frosting to stay in place when piped on cupcakes.)
*Beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
*Use at once or keep refrigerated. (This frosting will keep well in the refrigerator for several days, but you may need to re-beat it for the best texture.)
For Chocolate Frosting: (my favorite!) add ½ cup unsweetened cocoa (I use Ghirardelli brand, it’s really good). Add the cocoa powder...
