Directions
Step 1 Begin by washing and cutting off the top stem of each strawberry. Then, using a paring knife, carefully hollow out each strawberry to create space for the cheesecake filling.
🍓 Craving Pro Tip
To hollow out strawberries, simply use a Small Paring Knife to cut around the inside of the strawberry, removing the stem in a circular motion. For larger strawberries, a Melon Baller can be used as well.
Step 2 In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream mixture until it becomes slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3 Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a ziplock bag, cut off one corner, or use a piping bag for precision. Squeeze the creamy cheesecake mixture into the hollowed-out strawberries.
💡 Filling Pro Tip
Ensure that the cream cheese mixture is at Room Temperature before filling the strawberries. This makes it easier to blend and ensures a smoother consistency.
🍰 Serving Pro Tip
For the best experience, serve your cheesecake stuffed strawberries Slightly Chilled.
