Fill piping bag with mixture: Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip. Trim and scoop out strawberries: Trim 1/2-inch from bottom of each strawberry so that it sits flat. Use a small melon baller to scoop out the center of each berry. Pipe cream cheese mixture into berries, garnish and chill: Pipe cream cheese mixture into strawberries until it brims over the tops. Finish each strawberry with a blueberry garnish. Make Ahead We don't recommend making these filled strawberries too far ahead before serving, but you can assemble them up to two hours ahead. Cover them lightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
