"Vegetables with flavored cream cheese piped on top are more elegant take on crudites. Each combination will make enough to pipe out cream cheese for about 28 large crudities, such as 4"-inch long celery strip, or 15 dozen smallest crudities, such as cucumber slices. Use slices of round vegetables, baby carrots halved lengthwise, or vegetables like endive that naturally hold the filling. Other: suggestions: Pea Pods, or Radishes. This came from Martha Stewart's Hors D' Oeuvres Handbook. I have not tried these, just posting for future use."

ingredients

Dill
¹⁄₃ cup packed roughly chopped fresh dill
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
¹⁄₂ teaspoon kosher salt
Creme
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
2 ounces creme fraiche (homemade or prepared)
Wasabi
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
2 tablespoons wasabi paste
Beet
¹⁄₄ cup beet juice (from 1 small beet or purchased)
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
¹⁄₂ cup kosher salt
Carrot-Cardamom
¹⁄₄ cup carrot juice (from 2 carrots or purchased)
2 cardamom pods
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
kosher salt, to taste

directions

Combine the cream cheese ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until thoroughly incorporated. The cream cheeses will keep, tightly covered, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Carrot-Cardamom: Place carrot juice and the cardamom in a small saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the juice and discard the cardamom. Let the juice cool. Add half of the carrot juice to the cream cheese and mix well. (Save the remaining juice for another use or use all of it if doubling the recipe).
Freezer bags work just as well as traditional pastry bags for piping: Snip one of the corners and fasten the pastry tip as you would on a vinyl bag. Recommended Tips: Closed Star #30, Open Leaf #352, Plain Round #2, Straight #45 or Plain Round #4.

Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers. 8724441"
