4.3 from 1 review

Delightfully sweet and creamy covered cheesecake strawberries featuring fresh strawberries dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate and filled with a luscious homemade cheesecake mixture. Perfect for a decadent yet refreshing dessert or party treat.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 15 servings

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 1 pound (about 12-15) large strawberries (thoroughly rinsed and patted dry)

Chocolate Coating

  • 6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (cold)

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to create a non-stick surface for the chocolate-covered strawberries.
  2. Prepare strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry to ensure the chocolate adheres properly. Remove the tops and hull the centers using a small paring knife to create space for the cheesecake filling.
  3. Melt chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Dip strawberries: Using a fork or skewer, dip each prepared strawberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Set them on the lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to start setting.
  5. Prepare cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. Add the cold heavy cream and beat for an additional two minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Chill the filling in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to help it firm up for piping.
  6. Fill strawberries: Transfer the chilled cheesecake filling into a piping bag fitted with a tip. Carefully pipe the filling into the hollowed centers of each chocolate-covered strawberry.
  7. Set in refrigerator: If the filling feels soft, refrigerate the assembled strawberries for 10-15 minutes to allow the cheesecake filling to set firmly.
  8. Serve: Serve the covered cheesecake strawberries immediately or store in the refrigerator and enjoy within 12 hours for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
  • Use a sharp paring knife to hull the strawberries carefully without damaging their shape.
  • If needed, reheat chocolate gently if it starts to harden during dipping.
  • For best results, consume the dessert within 12 hours as the filling may soften over time.
  • Can be customized with different types of chocolate such as white or dark chocolate.
