🛒 Ingredients (for ~12–16 strawberries):

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 4 oz (½ cup) cream cheese, softened (Philadelphia recommended)

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Hollow out each strawberry by carefully removing the stem and scooping out a small cone-shaped center using a melon baller or small spoon. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, add heavy cream and beat until fluffy.

Step 3: Fill the Strawberries
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into each hollowed strawberry until full.

Step 4: Add Toppings (Optional)
Drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or graham cracker crumbs over the top for added texture and flavor.

Step 5: Chill and Serve
Place filled strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Keto Version: Use a sugar-free sweetener instead of powdered sugar and sugar-free chocolate for dipping.
  • Party Tip: Arrange on a platter with alternating chocolate-drizzled and plain versions for a visually appealing display.
