Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries
  • 1 pound large strawberries, thoroughly rinsed and patted dry about 12–15 strawberries
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips melted for coating
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened bring to room temperature for best results
  • ½ cup powdered sugar reduce to 1/3 cup for less sweetness if desired
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream, cold

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Rinse strawberries and pat them completely dry. Remove the tops and hull the center with a small paring knife to create a cavity.
Chocolate Dipping
  1. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth (about 60–90 seconds).
  2. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds, and shake off excess.
  3. Place dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined baking sheet and let the chocolate set for 10-20 minutes at room temperature or 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
  2. Add cold heavy cream and beat for an additional 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Chill the filling in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm it.
Assembly
  1. Transfer chilled filling to a piping bag fitted with a small round or star tip.
  2. Pipe cheesecake filling into each chocolate-covered strawberry’s hulled center.
  3. Chill for 10-15 minutes if the filling looks soft. Serve immediately or store chilled.
