Description
These no-bake chocolate covered cheesecake strawberries are the ultimate indulgent treat—juicy berries dipped in chocolate and filled with sweet vanilla cream cheese.
Ingredients
For the Strawberries:
1 pound (about 12–15) large strawberries, rinsed and thoroughly dried
6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Filling:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup cold heavy cream
Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries:
Rinse strawberries and pat dry completely. Remove the tops and hull the centers using a small knife to create space for filling.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully smooth.
Dip the Strawberries:
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, covering completely. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to set.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add heavy cream and beat for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Chill filling for 15 minutes.
Fill the Strawberries:
Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each chocolate-coated strawberry using a piping bag (or zip-top bag with snipped corner).
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate filled strawberries for 10–15 minutes until set. Serve within 12 hours for best results.
Notes
Use a paring knife or melon baller to neatly hollow out strawberries.
Try dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on your preference.
Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, sprinkles, coconut, or chopped nuts.
