When strawberries are in season and at their sweetest, juiciest best, it’s time to celebrate them with easy recipes that make the most of their fruity goodness. Here, they’re slightly hollowed out with a melon baller and filled with a luscious mixture of cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and cocoa. A little powdered sugar sweetens the filling, and a light splash of almond extract—the secret ingredient—adds surprising richness and depth.
