Ingredients

  • 1 pint strawberries
  • 12 ounces chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips)
  • optional: sprinkles or mini chocolate chips for decorating

For the cheesecake filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup Cool Whip
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Cheesecake Filling

  • Beat together the cream cheese and cool whip until smooth. Then cream in the sugar and vanilla. Put the filling in the fridge to cool while you make the strawberries.

Dipping Chocolate

  • Melt half of the chocolate chips in a glass cup or coffee mug in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips and melt in 20 second intervals until all the chocolate is melted and smooth. Do not overcook!

Strawberries

  • Clean and thoroughly dry the strawberries, if they are wet at all they will ruin the chocolate.
  • Dip the strawberries (leaving some space at the top) and place them on parchment paper.
  • Optional: sprinkle on some mini chocolate chips or sprinkles.
  • Let the chocolate completely cool and set. It's better if they set at room temperature but if you are impatient you can always put them in the fridge to cool faster.
  • Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut out the white center area.
  • Scoop the cheesecake filling into a ziplock bag and seal. Cut a small hole in the corner and pipe the filling into the strawberries. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

  • Use a small paring knife to slice the green stem off the top of the strawberry.
  • The same sharp knife can be used to dig out the white inside of the fruit, making a small space for the cheesecake filling.
  • Use a hand mixer to whisk together the cream cheese mixture ingredients in a large bowl until they're smooth and light. Then refrigerate the bowl until your berries are dipped and ready for the filling.
  • Use a Ziploc bag with a small hole cut in the corner, or a piping bag to add the cream cheese filling inside each berry.
