Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 2 pints strawberries, tops off and hulled/cored
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup chocolate syrup, cold
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
Optional Garnishes
- Mini chocolate chips
- Chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the tops, and carefully core each strawberry to create a hollow center for the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cold chocolate syrup, powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well incorporated.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until the filling becomes light and fluffy.
- Stuff Strawberries: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each hollowed strawberry with the chocolate cheesecake mixture, being careful not to overfill.
- Chill: Place the stuffed strawberries on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Add Garnishes: Just before serving, garnish the strawberries with mini chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother filling.
- Chilling the strawberries with filling helps the cheesecake mixture firm up for better handling.
- Use fresh and firm strawberries to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with vegan alternatives.
- Optional garnishes add a decorative touch but can be omitted for a simpler presentation.
