Description

Delight in these luscious Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries, combining juicy fresh strawberries dipped in rich semi-sweet chocolate and filled with a smooth, creamy cheesecake filling. This no-bake treat is perfect as a romantic dessert or an elegant party appetizer.

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 1 pound (about 12-15) large strawberries, thoroughly rinsed and patted dry

Chocolate Coating

  • 6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream, cold

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy cleanup and proper setting of the strawberries.
  2. Clean and Prep Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries well and pat dry completely to ensure the chocolate adheres properly. Remove the tops and hull the centers with a small paring knife to create space for the cheesecake filling.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, careful not to burn.
  4. Coat Strawberries: Dip each prepared strawberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place each dipped strawberry on the parchment-lined baking sheet to let the chocolate set slightly.
  5. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, blend until smooth and creamy. Add the cold heavy cream and beat for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  6. Chill Filling: Transfer the cheesecake filling to the refrigerator for 15 minutes to chill and firm up slightly, making it easier to pipe into the strawberries.
  7. Fill Strawberries: Spoon or transfer the chilled cheesecake filling into a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. Pipe a generous amount of filling into the center of each chocolate-covered strawberry.
  8. Set Filling: If the cheesecake filling feels too soft, place the filled strawberries back into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set firmly.
  9. Serve: Serve the chocolate covered cheesecake strawberries immediately, or store in the refrigerator and consume within 12 hours for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping in chocolate to prevent chocolate from seizing.
  • Use cold heavy cream for best whipped texture in cheesecake filling.
  • Store filled strawberries in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
  • Use a piping bag tip of your choice for decorative filling designs.
  • Consume within 12 hours for best taste and texture.
