Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Milk or dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or shortening
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs (optional)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the fresh strawberries, leaving the green tops intact.
Carefully hull each strawberry by removing the stems and creating a cavity in the center using a small paring knife or strawberry huller.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe the cream cheese filling into the cavity of each strawberry until full, then set them aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening). Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
Dip the bottom half of each stuffed strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle or roll the chocolate-dipped portion in graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or refrigerate for a quicker set time.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
