Description
Juicy strawberries filled with rich, creamy cheesecake make this dessert irresistibly indulgent yet refreshingly simple.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 large strawberries, fresh and ripe
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or crushed graham crackers, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries under cool water and pat dry. Slice off tops and carefully hollow out the centers.
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
- Gently fold in whipped cream using a spatula until fully incorporated.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each hollowed strawberry generously.
- Top with chocolate shavings or crushed graham crackers if desired. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use only ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Avoid overmixing the filling to keep it airy. Leftover filling pairs well with graham crackers or fresh fruit. For a citrus twist, mix in a bit of lemon zest or juice.
