Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
These strawberries are not just pretty to look at; they are bursting with flavor! A luscious cheesecake filling makes them an irresistible snack. Plus, they’re easy to make, so let’s roll up those sleeves and get to it!
Ingredients
- 1 pint of fresh strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (or Cool Whip)
- Chocolate or caramel sauce (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing your strawberries under cool water and patting them dry. Make sure they’re nice and clean for the filling.
- Next, carefully cut off the tops of the strawberries and create a little hollow space in the middle. Use a small spoon or a paring knife to scoop out a bit of the inside. Don’t go too deep, just enough to make room for that tasty filling!
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is combined and you have a nice, fluffy cheesecake filling.
- Now, fold in the whipped cream gently. This will make your filling light and airy! You want it to be easy to pipe into those strawberries.
- Using a piping bag, or even a plastic bag with the corner cut off, fill each strawberry with that luscious cheesecake mixture. Make sure to be generous with it!
- If you want to add a little something extra, you can drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce on top of the filled strawberries. It adds a nice touch and makes them even more delicious!
