Directions
FILLING:
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease muffin tin or use paper muffin cups inserted in
    each cup.
  • Blend the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla to the cream
    cheese mixture and beat only long enough for the ingredients to be evenly combined. Set filling
    aside.
MUFFINS:
  • In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
    Stir to distribute evenly.
  • In a medium size bowl, combine vegetable oil, melted butter, milk,
    strawberries, eggs, and vanilla. Beat to blend ingredients. Add the strawberry mixture to the flour
    mixture. Stir just until mixtures are combined.
  • Fill muffin tins 1/3 full of batter. Spoon at

2

least 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling into the middle of each muffin. Add 5 white chocolate
chips to the center of the muffin and then top with the remaining batter. Muffin cups should be
approximately 3/4 full.
  • Bake muffins at 350° F. for 30 to 35 minutes or until edges are
    lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before frosting.
    • FROSTING:
    • Beat
      cream cheese until smooth. Add puréed strawberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth
      and well blended.
    • Frost the cooled muffins and then place in the refrigerator to allow the
      frosting to set.
