Double Chocolate Filled Strawberries

45 large fresh strawberries (2 pounds)
1/4 cup cream cheese
1 cup milk, divided
1 pkg white chocolate instant pudding
1 cup thawed cool whip
1 tsp lemon zest
1/8 cup chocolate chips

Cut the stems off the strawberries. Set the strawberries on a tray with the cut side down. Cut an "X" in the point part of each strawberry, gently spreading the opening so the strawberry has a flower look.

Whisk together cream cheese and 1/4 cup milk until well blended. Gradually add the remaining milk till well blended. Add the dry pudding mix. Beat two minutes. Fold in the cool whip and the lemon zest.

Spoon this mixture into a sealable plastic bag. Cut off a small corner of the plastic bag and pipe the filling into the center of each "X" on the strawberry.

Melt the chocolate chips for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave, stirring them in between. Put the melted chocolate in another sealable plastic bag. Cut off a very small corner and drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries.

Note: You can use vanilla or cheesecake flavored pudding. You can also use sugar free white chocolate pudding and sugar free cool whip.

The strawberries cannot be made more than an hour in advance. The filling starts liquefying.
