These Strawberry Cheesecake Bites are a delightful twist on the classic dessert, offering a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors in every bite. With a simple yet indulgent recipe, these treats are sure to impress your guests or satisfy your own sweet cravings. The process begins by creating a smooth and creamy filling, blending cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until perfectly combined. This mixture is then skillfully piped into fresh, juicy strawberries, creating a delightful contrast of textures. The addition of graham cracker crumbs adds a subtle crunch, reminiscent of a traditional cheesecake base. But the real magic happens when you dip these treats in melted chocolate, creating a decadent exterior that complements the creamy filling within. These bites are not only delicious but also visually appealing, making them ideal for parties, picnics, or as a special treat for yourself. With a relatively short preparation time and a calorie count of 103 per serving, these Strawberry Cheesecake Bites are a guilt-free indulgence that can be enjoyed by vegetarians and dessert enthusiasts alike.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar 
  • ounce cream cheese 
  • tablespoons graham cracker crumbs 
  • 12 large strawberries fresh hulled
  • teaspoons vanilla extract 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • knife
  • microwave

Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  2. Beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
  4. With a sharp paring knife, cut a cone shape out of the top of each strawberry to leave a small hollow.
  5. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into each strawberry, making sure that the filling overflows a bit out of the top of the strawberry.
  6. Place the graham cracker crumbs into a shallow bowl. Dip the filled side of the strawberry into the graham cracker crumbs, coating the exposed filling with crumbs.
  7. Melt the chocolate and canola oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until warm and smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).
  8. Dip the unfilled ends of the strawberries into the melted chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet; refrigerate until set.
