Description
Juicy, fresh fruit meets a rich, creamy filling in this easy Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries recipe that takes just minutes to prepare for a crowd.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 1 tsp stevia glycerite
Instructions
- Start by rinsing your strawberries thoroughly under cold water and patting them completely dry with paper towels to ensure the filling sticks. Take a sharp paring knife and carefully remove the green hull, then carve out a small hollow in the center of the red flesh to create space for the mixture.
- Place your cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in short ten-second bursts until it is soft and pliable but not melted. Add the sweetener and vanilla extract to the bowl, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth, glossy, and free of any lumps.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a decorative look, or simply use a small spoon for a rustic approach. Gently fill each hollowed strawberry until the cheesecake mixture mounds slightly over the top, then arrange them on a serving platter to chill or enjoy immediately.
Notes
To keep the strawberries upright, slice a tiny sliver off the bottom point. You can substitute stevia with powdered sugar or maple syrup if preferred. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
