Description
Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries are a simple yet sophisticated treat, perfect for any occasion. They combine the fresh, juicy sweetness of strawberries with a creamy, tangy cheesecake filling
Ingredients
- 3 dozen Large Fresh Strawberries
- 11 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Confectioners’ Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
- Grated Chocolate, optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries.
Remove the stems from the strawberries.
Cut a deep “X” in the tip of each berry. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Gently spread the berries open to create a cavity for the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling.
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and almond extract until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
Step 3: Fill the Strawberries.
Pipe or spoon about 2 teaspoons of the cheesecake filling into each prepared strawberry.
Step 4: Garnish (Optional).
If desired, sprinkle the filled strawberries with grated chocolate.
Step 5: Chill and Serve.
Chill the filled strawberries until serving. This allows the filling to firm up slightly.
