Cheesecake Filled Chocolate Covered Strawberries

These plump strawberries filled with cheesecake, dipped in chocolate and then drizzled are perfect for birthdays, parties, celebrations, and holidays.



What You Need:
Whole Strawberries
Philadelphia Ready-To-Eat Cheesecake filling
Good Quality Dipping Chocolate

What You Do:
Carefully wash strawberries and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the stems from the berries.

Using a small paring knife, core the center of each berry being careful to leave the bottom in tact.Fill a plastic baggie with the cheesecake filling. Fill each berry with cheesecake continuing on top of berry with a pretty design.

Line a small baking sheet with wax paper.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dipping chocolate at 30-second intervals until chocolate is smooth and creamy. Dip each strawberry into chocolate, covering 3/4 of the berry. Lay on baking sheet. Fill a second plastic baggie with chocolate and drizzle over the berries in a pretty design. Chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Store in a sealed plastic container in the refrigerator.

Wow, yum is all I can say. It reminds me of just last New Year's, when my husband and I were reduced by a chocolate craving to making fondu with the leftover Christmas stocking Hershey kisses, lol!
Hey, I just replied to your Oz post too on my blog.

I make chocolate dipped strawberries for chic flick nights - my friends all call them orgasms because they are so good - these I guess would be multiple orgasms!

Tami said...

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful comments. After all of this talking, I wish that I could find ripe strawberries around here to make these now. They are sooo good!

Kim, You cracked me up with that one! I love the idea of chick flick night!

Is this something that I can make a day or 2 in advance and just keep it in the fridge?

you, are a genius
i will have to make this, maybe add some gramcracker too

Tami said...

Anon, Thanks for your comments! These strawberries are SO good!

Jenna, I'm sorry that I didn't see your question sooner. No, I wouldn't make these more than an hour ahead of time. Any more than that I would be afraid that the cream cheese filling would start to seperate because of the juice in the strawberries.
