Instructions
Scoop out and discard pulp of cherry tomatoes. (I recommend using a small melon baller.)
Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain while you make the filling.
In a food processor, combine the cream, mozzarella cheese, basil and garlic; cover and process until blended
Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or gallon ziploc bag. Transfer cheese mixture to the bag.
