With just a few ingredients, you can make this simple and festive dessert.

Ingredients:

Strawberries
Blueberries
Whipped Topping, thawed**
Blue Sugar - optional
Red Edible Glitter - optional
Piping Bag
Large Star Tip

Directions:

1. Wash, dry and hull/hollow out strawberries.  You will also have to slice a very small piece off the bottom of each strawberry, so it will sit flat on a plate.
2. Wash and dry blueberries.
3. Prepare piping bag with star tip and fill with whipped topping.
4. Fill each strawberry with whipped topping and top with a blueberry.
5. Sprinkle with blue sugar and red glitter (optional).
6. Arrange on a serving plate and enjoy immediately!

**instead of whipped topping you could use whipped cream cheese, cheese cake filling, whipped cream or mousse.
