Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
Topping
- â…“ cup roasted salted almonds, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Core the strawberries by removing the stems and hollowing out the center to create enough space for the cheesecake filling.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Beat the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Fill the Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the filling evenly into the hollowed strawberries ensuring each one is generously filled.
- Add Topping and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped roasted almonds over the top of the filled strawberries to add a crunchy texture. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm strawberries for best results to hold the filling without becoming soggy.
- For a more decorative presentation, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the stuffed strawberries.
- If not serving immediately, keep the filled strawberries refrigerated and add almonds just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
- Feel free to substitute almonds with other nuts like pistachios or walnuts based on preference or dietary restrictions.
