Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Sat, 4 July 2020

Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries
Chef: Krissy Gibson from Take The Cake
 
(makes 15-20 stuffed strawberries)
 
Ingredients:
450g fresh strawberries, rinsed and dried
225g cream cheese, softened
50g icing sugar
5mls vanilla extract
Digestive biscuit crumbs for garnish, optional (or graham cracker crumbs)
A handful of blueberries for garnish, optional
 
Method:
1.  With a paring knife, cut off the strawberry stems. Cut around the inside of the strawberry, hollowing out slightly and creating a well for the cheesecake.  Cut off a small portion of the pointy strawberry tip, so that each strawberry can stand. Place each on a plate.
2.  With a handheld electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy, about 2 minutes in a medium-sized bowl. 
3.  Place mixture in a pastry bag and pipe into each strawberry, adding a little extra to the top. If you do not have a piping bag, use a small spoon to fill each strawberry.
4.  Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
5.  Optionally, sprinkle digestive biscuit crumbs on top of each stuffed strawberry and top each with a blueberry.
6.  Don’t make more than 5 hours ahead, or your strawberries may get soggy.
