Meanwhile, put the peach pieces into a bowl and stir in the remaining teaspoon of sugar. Mash part of the peaches with a fork to get the juices flowing and let the fruit sit for a few minutes. Transfer about one third of the peaches to another bowl along with the cream cheese. Stir the mixture vigorously until the cheese is smooth.
To serve, put a crispy phyllo piece on each of 4 plates. Top each with one fourth of the cheese mixture, then one fourth of the sweetened peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg.

SERVINGS
| 12 | extra-large strawberries (the bigger the better!) |
| 1 | to 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
| 1 | teaspoon sugar (optional) |
| Spray whipping cream (the real kind in the can in the dairy section) | |
| Cocoa powder, for garnish |
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the tops of the berries off just below the stem. Cut the tips off (about ¼ inch), so that the berries will sit upright. Next, use a small spoon or a melon-ball scoop to hollow out the strawberries, working from their tops, to create a cavity in each one. Stuff some chocolate into the cavity of each strawberry and place them upright in a baking dish. Lightly sprinkle the berries with sugar, if using. Roast the berries until soft and the chocolate is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
To serve, place 3 strawberries on a dessert plate in a triangle. If the berries have given off liquid in the baking dish, spoon it over them. Spray a small mound of cream in the center of the berries, and top each berry with a rosette of cream. Sift a little cocoa powder over the plate, and serve!
RECIPISTORY
This is an inside-out version of chocolate-dipped strawberries. Roasting the fruit brings out even more flavor and juiciness. You’ll never settle for plain old dipped berries again! You can use any type of chocolate (milk, white, or semisweet), but remember bittersweet chocolate has less sugar and is lower in carbs.
