Ingredients
Strawberries
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, reduced fat
- 3/4 cup powdered sweetener (confectioners Monkfruit if keto)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and cut off the tips so that each strawberry can sit upright on a flat surface.
- Hollow Out Strawberries: Remove the top of each strawberry and use a small measuring spoon or similar tool to scoop out a small portion from the inside, creating a cavity for the filling.
- Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture reaches a smooth, frosting-like consistency.
- Fill Strawberries: Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the cream cheese mixture.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before filling to prevent sogginess.
- You can refrigerate the filled strawberries before serving to firm up the filling.
- Use confectioners Monkfruit sweetener for a keto-friendly option to keep the carb count low.
- For variation, sprinkle a little cinnamon or cocoa powder on the cream cheese filling.
