Ingredients

Scale

Gather these simple ingredients to create Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries:

  • 20 large fresh strawberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • White chocolate drizzle (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries and Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Wash the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry completely with a paper towel.
  2. Hollow the Strawberries: Using a paring knife or strawberry huller, carefully remove the stems and hollow out the center of each strawberry.
  3. Make the Filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fill the Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each hollowed strawberry until full.

Dip the Strawberries in Chocolate:

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Dip the Strawberries: Holding each filled strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring the cheesecake filling is fully covered.
  3. Add Toppings: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the dipped strawberries for a classic cheesecake touch.

Chill and Decorate:

  1. Chill the Strawberries: Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
  2. Optional Drizzle: Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the strawberries for added elegance.

Serve:

  1. Serve Chilled: Arrange the strawberries on a decorative platter and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
