Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Recipe
YIELD: Makes 16-20 stuffed strawberries
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. fresh strawberries, rinsed and pat dry
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grated White or Dark Chocolate, or blueberries optional
DIRECTIONS:
With a paring knife, cut off the strawberry stems. Cut around the inside of the strawberry, hollowing out slightly and creating a well for the cheesecake. (You can also do this with a small melon baller). Slice the pointed ends off the strawberries to help them stand up straight on a platter.
Place each on a large serving sheet and get ready to fill them.
In a medium bowl, with a standing or handheld electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Place mixture in a pastry bag and pipe into each strawberry, adding a little extra to the top. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Optionally, sprinkle grated chocolate or add a blueberry on top of each stuffed strawberry.
To make this low carb and Keto friendly – substitute sugar for Stevia or another zero calorie sweetener and use dark unsweetened chocolate
Enjoy!
TIP: Don’t make more than 5 hours in advance, or your strawberries will sweat and may become a bit soggy. Be sure to keep them in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
