Description
Juicy strawberries filled with creamy cheesecake and dipped in rich chocolate. These no-bake bites are fresh, sweet, and indulgent—perfect for parties, date nights, or a simple treat.
Ingredients
1 lb fresh strawberries (about 20 large)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Slice off the tops and gently hollow out the centers using a small knife or melon baller.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped) and pipe it into each hollowed-out strawberry.
- Dip the tops of the filled strawberries into crushed graham crackers.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Dip the bottom halves of the stuffed strawberries into the melted chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
- Serve chilled, ideally within 24 hours for the best taste and texture.
Notes
Use white or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet for variety.
Top with crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Mascarpone cheese can be used instead of cream cheese for a more delicate flavor.
Use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate for a dairy-free version.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 24 hours.
Not suitable for freezing.
