Description
Delicious no-bake dessert with creamy cheesecake filling inside fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large strawberries (about 18–22), washed and completely dried
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or 1/2 cup whipped topping)
- 8–10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or melting wafers)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Prep strawberries by hulling them and slightly coring the center to make room for filling. Pat dry well.
- Make cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy and pipeable.
- Pipe cheesecake filling into each strawberry. Chill 10–15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate (and coconut oil if using) in 20–30 second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each filled strawberry about halfway into melted chocolate. Place on parchment-lined tray.
- Chill 15–20 minutes until chocolate is firm. Serve cold.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
