Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 25 large strawberries
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Filling Components:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
Topping and Crust:
- ¼ cup (40 grams) mini chocolate chips
- 1 sheet graham cracker
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries by carefully removing their stems and hulling each fruit. Trim a small portion from the bottom to create a stable base for filling.
- Pat strawberries dry with paper towels to eliminate excess moisture, ensuring a clean surface for filling.
- Create a creamy filling by blending cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the smooth cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or zip-lock bag with a small corner snipped off, selecting a decorative tip if desired for an elegant presentation.
- Carefully pipe the cream cheese mixture into each hollowed strawberry, filling them completely without overflowing.
- Arrange the filled strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet or serving platter.
- Enhance the strawberry bites with delicate garnishes such as mini chocolate chips, crushed graham cracker fragments, or a dollop of whipped cream to add texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Perfectly prep strawberries by removing stems and creating a flat base for stable filling.
- Drain strawberries thoroughly on paper towels to prevent watery cheesecake mixture.
- Whip cream cheese mixture until ultra-smooth for silky, luxurious texture inside strawberries.
- Use piping bag or zip bag with corner snipped for precise, mess-free filling technique.
- Garnish creatively with mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, or dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Refrigerate immediately after preparing to maintain freshness and help filling set quickly.
