Spoon into a pastry bag fitted with medium star tip. Chill 1 hour. Quarter the strawberries from tip to stem end without cutting through stem end. Pipe cream cheese mixture into strawberries (berries will be upside- down, pointed ends up, on plate). Chill until ready to serve. (Don't fill berries too far ahead of time.)
