Ingredients
1 pound (about 12–15) large strawberries, thoroughly rinsed and patted dry
6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream, cold
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Rinse strawberries thoroughly and pat dry. Hull the center of each strawberry using a small paring knife.
-
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
-
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, covering as much or as little as you like. Place the dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Add cold heavy cream to the mixture and beat for an additional 2 minutes until fluffy.
-
Chill the cheesecake filling in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
-
Transfer the chilled filling into a piping bag and pipe a small amount into the center of each chocolate-covered strawberry.
-
If the filling is too soft, refrigerate the strawberries for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 12 hours for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Storage: Keep these bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 12 hours. They are best served fresh.
Variations: Try using dark chocolate, adding a dash of cinnamon or citrus zest to the filling, or rolling the strawberries in crushed nuts for added texture.
