Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound large strawberries (thoroughly rinsed and pat dry) About 12-15 strawberries
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips For dipping
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened) For the cheesecake filling
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (cold)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Rinse the strawberries and pat them dry. Remove the tops and hull the center using a small paring knife.
Melting Chocolate
  1. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted.
  2. Dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth.
  2. Add heavy cream and beat for an additional 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the filling to chill.
Assembly
  1. Transfer the chilled cheesecake filling to a piping bag with a tip. Pipe some filling into each chocolate-covered strawberry.
  2. If the filling seems soft, place strawberries in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set the cheesecake filling.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately or within 12 hours for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Store leftover strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 12 hours for optimal taste and texture. Do not freeze them, as it can change the consistency of the strawberries. Make sure the strawberries are fully dry before dipping them in chocolate for better adherence.
