🥘Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 large strawberries

For the Topping

1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.
2Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3The mixture should be smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.
4Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry.
5Using a kitchen knife, carefully cut the tops off the strawberries and create a small hole in the center of each strawberry.
6This hole should be wide enough to allow the cream cheese mixture to fill the strawberry.
7Gently spoon the cheesecake filling into each strawberry, filling them to the top.
8Ensure that the filling is evenly distributed among all the strawberries.
9Place the filled strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the filling to firm up.
11This will prevent the filling from oozing out when the strawberries are served.
12Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry.
13Using a kitchen knife, carefully cut the tops off the strawberries and create a small hole in the center of each strawberry.
14This hole should be wide enough to allow the cream cheese mixture to fill the strawberry.
15In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
16Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn easily.
17Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cheesecake filled strawberries, allowing it to drip down the sides.
18You can use a spoon or a piping bag to create a decorative design with the chocolate.
19Place the strawberries back in the freezer for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
