- Mixture should roll into a ball without sticking to your fingers.
- Spread pink dough onto husks, which have been softened in hot water.
- Leave a margin at each side.
- Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of strawberry pie filling in a line through middle of dough.
- Fold in both sides and press seam together, making sure strawberry filling stays completely inside the dough.
- Leave ends open.
- Roll husk and tie ends tightly.

- Tamales will come easily off the husk and have a spongy texture when cooked.

5 stars for originality and taste! But this was my first time making tamales so I dont think they came out as good as they could have. I skipped the heavy cream on the cream sauce and used low fat sour cream with low fat cool whip and it turned out quite tasty. I think next time I may have to use more hasa harina, or cut back on the liquid because it seemed a bit too moist.... but it also could just be I am not an avid tammale maker. Very good, and exteremly diffrent dessert.
