Ingredients
Strawberries
- 20 large strawberries (roughly 2 lbs)
Cheesecake Filling
- 4 oz softened cream cheese (1/2 a block)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping and Coating
- 24 golden Oreos
- 1 (3 oz) box strawberry Jell-O mix
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips (roughly 2 cups)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dry your strawberries thoroughly. Using a melon baller, scoop a hole into one side of each strawberry. Gently pat the inside of the hollowed berries dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a cut tip. Pipe the filling into the hollowed cavities of each strawberry. Place the filled strawberries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Create the Strawberry Crunch Topping: Place the golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix in the strawberry Jell-O mix and melted butter until well combined.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Strawberries: Dip each cheesecake-filled strawberry into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then immediately roll it into the strawberry crunch topping to cover evenly.
- Set and Serve: Place the coated strawberries back onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until the white chocolate hardens and sets before serving, about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the strawberries are completely dry inside before filling to prevent sogginess.
- You can substitute golden Oreos with regular vanilla Oreos if preferred.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Store the finished strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- Use a piping bag for neat filling but a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off works well too for easy filling.
- The white chocolate coating can be replaced with milk or dark chocolate if desired, adjusting sweetness accordingly.
