Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate covered strawberries are definitely on my top ten Valentine’s dessert list. They are easy to make, always elegant and always delicious. This time around I wanted to add a simple twist to this classic.

And I had some, okay, a lot of cheesecake left over from a gathering, so I decided to try this with it. What a hit! My friends loved them and it’s now our favorite way to enjoy chocolate covered strawberries.

The cheesecake was a little thick for piping so I added some cream cheese to it and gave it a few whippings in the KitchenAid and it came out perfect for piping consistency.

A few notes:

There’s no recipe. This is just a simple modern update to a classic dessert. And hey, a damn good and fun way to use up any left over cheesecake!
Strawberries can be cored and dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate the night before and stuffed the day of.

Fruit, Holiday

Naomi – what a great idea for left over cheesecake. I’ve made cheesecake stuffed strawberries before but never with dipped strawberries. Chocolate makes everything better right? =)

Those look scrumptious! What a wonderful little treat. It definitely eases the guilt of other super rich desserts (if restraint is not an issue)

YUM.

I bet in a rush one could even buy a store made cheesecake and mix it up to make it better for piping… no one would ever have to know!!!! (coming from the girl who can’t bake!)
