double (heavy) cream
cream cheese
icing sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
vanilla extract
cocoa powder (sifted)
dark chocolate (melted)
Oreo biscuits (or gluten-free chocolate biscuits, with the creamy centre discarded)

directions

Prepare the Strawberries:

Remove the leaves from the strawberries, then use a melon baller to scoop out the center of each strawberry, creating a small well for the cheesecake filling.
Slice a tiny bit off the bottom of each strawberry so they stand up straight.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

Whisk the double cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
Add the cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder to the bowl. Whisk until fully combined.
Pour in the melted dark chocolate and whisk again until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth.

Assemble the Strawberries:

Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a fluted tip.
Pipe the filling into each strawberry, filling the hole and swirling the mixture on top like a mini cupcake.
Place each stuffed strawberry in petit fours cases or on a serving tray.
Sprinkle crushed Oreo biscuits (or your preferred biscuits) on top of each strawberry for added texture and flavor.

Serve:

Serve the chocolate cheesecake stuffed strawberries immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Variations

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free biscuits like bourbons or your favorite gluten-free chocolate biscuits.
Add Fruit Flavors: Add a swirl of fruit preserves or fresh berries to the cheesecake mixture for an added fruity flavor.
White Chocolate Option: Swap the dark chocolate with white chocolate for a sweeter version of the filling.

storage/reheating

Storage: Keep the stuffed strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Serve them chilled for the best flavor.
Freezing: These strawberries are best served fresh, but you can freeze the filling in a piping bag for later use. Just thaw it in the refrigerator before piping it into fresh strawberries.

FAQs

Can I use fresh whipped cream instead of double cream?

Yes, you can use fresh whipped cream, but double cream gives a richer, denser texture which works better for this recipe.

How do I prevent the cheesecake filling from being too runny?

Make sure the cream cheese is well-beaten and that the chocolate is cooled but still liquid. This will help the filling stay firm and not run.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling a day ahead and stuff the strawberries just before serving. They can be stored in the fridge for a day.

Can I use a different kind of chocolate?

You can substitute the dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate, depending on your preference.

What can I use instead of Oreos?

You can use any type of biscuit you prefer. For a lighter option, crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits would work well.
