Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 tsp sea salt
- 1 lb large fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 0.25 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp white chocolate
Instructions:
- Wash strawberries and pat thoroughly dry. Remove green tops and carve a deep, conical cavity in the center of each berry. Slice a tiny sliver off the bottom tip so they stand upright.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until aerated. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and salt until the mixture is stiff and holds its shape. Transfer to a piping bag with a star tip.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling into each strawberry, slightly overfilling. Place on a tray and freeze for 10 minutes to firm the filling.
- Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals in the microwave until smooth. Dip the bottom half of each strawberry into the chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle graham cracker crumbs onto the wet chocolate. Place on parchment paper to set. Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a professional finish.
