Instructions
Instructions
- Wash your strawberries and dry them good, no moisture left or it won’t dip nice.
- Cut off the tops and hollow out the centers using a small spoon or strawberry huller so you got room for filling.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese with vanilla and powdered sweetener until it’s smooth and creamy. You can stir or use a mixer if you want.
- Stuff each hollowed strawberry with your cream cheese blend. Use a spoon or a piping bag so it looks neat and tidy.
- Melt your dark chocolate chips with optional coconut oil in the microwave. Do it in 20-second intervals, stirring after each till smooth and shiny.
- Dip each cheesecake-stuffed strawberry into the melted chocolate. Let the extra drip off so it’s not sloppy.
- Place your dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and pop them in the fridge. You wanna chill for 15 to 30 minutes till the chocolate sets firm.
Notes
Pop leftovers in an airtight container and keep them chilled in the fridge. They’ll last a few days and still taste fresh. If you wanna prepare ahead, make them fully and store in fridge until ready to serve. You can freeze them too but place parchment between layers. Thaw in fridge before serving to maintain texture.
