Stuffed Berry Cheesecake Bites (Printable Version)
Easy berry bites with velvety cheesecake stuffing—tasty snacks for every party.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
18-24 big ripe strawberries
02 -
1 cup heavy cream for whipping
03 -
8 ounces softened cream cheese
04 -
1/3 cup sour cream
05 -
2/3 cup regular white sugar
06 -
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
07 -
1 tbsp squeezed lemon juice (if you want)
08 -
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Snip the green tops off and cut strawberries into halves. Trim a tiny bit from the back so they won't roll over. Scoop out a small hole in each half using a melon baller.
02 -
Grab a medium bowl and whip the heavy cream until it forms firm peaks, which takes about 5 minutes.
03 -
In another bowl, combine the soft cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice if you're using it. Beat with an electric mixer till it's completely smooth.
04 -
Gently stir the whipped cream into your cheese mixture until everything's well blended.
05 -
Put your cheese filling in a piping bag with a star tip and squeeze it onto each hollow strawberry half.
06 -
Dust the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs. They're ready to eat now.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Want fewer carbs? Switch the sugar for a low-carb sweetener and skip the graham crackers.
02 -
You can cut the strawberries a day before. Just keep them in a sealed container with a paper towel to soak up moisture.
03 -
The cheese filling works fine made a day early and kept in the fridge.
