Description
Chocolate Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are rich, creamy, and bite-sized treats combining the sweetness of strawberries with a decadent chocolate cheesecake filling, topped with crushed Oreos for added texture.
Ingredients
- Large ripe strawberries
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 the chocolate cheesecake stuffed strawberries immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits like bourbons or your favorite gluten-free chocolate biscuits.
- Add a swirl of fruit preserves or fresh berries to the cheesecake mixture for an added fruity flavor.
- Swap the dark chocolate with white chocolate for a sweeter filling option.
