Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled (tops removed and hollowed out)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cookie butter (speculoos spread)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- Crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs (optional, for garnish)
- Additional cookie butter for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, then carefully cut a small cone shape out of the center of each berry to create a hollow space for the filling. Set aside.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, cookie butter, and vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully combined and creamy.
-
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture until smooth and fluffy.
-
Stuff the Strawberries: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cheesecake mixture. Be generous, as you want them to be well-stuffed!
-
Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle the stuffed strawberries with crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs for an added texture. Drizzle a little extra cookie butter on top for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Serve: Arrange the stuffed strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy chilled!
Notes
- For a fun variation, you can drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the stuffed strawberries for extra sweetness.
- If you don’t have cookie butter, you can substitute it with a similar spread, like Biscoff or speculoos cookies.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
