Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening
- 0.25 cup Graham cracker crumbs (optional)
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Use a paring knife to hull each strawberry, creating a small cavity for the filling. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the strawberry.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip (or use a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off) and pipe the filling into the hollowed-out strawberries until they are full.
Place the filled strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set the filling.
While the strawberries chill, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip each cheesecake-filled strawberry into the melted chocolate, fully or partially coating it. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before setting the strawberry back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the chocolate coating before it sets for an added crunch.
Let the coated strawberries sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Serve the Chocolate Cheesecake Strawberries chilled and enjoy this delightful treat!
