Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Strawberries:

12 large fresh strawberries
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Coating:

1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil

For Decoration:

½ cup white chocolate chips (for drizzling)
Food coloring (pastel shades: pink, blue, yellow, green)
Edible sugar flowers or sprinkles

Directions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
Core the Strawberries: Cut the tops off each strawberry and use a small spoon or paring knife to hollow out the center. Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each strawberry.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the dark or milk chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the base and dip halfway into the melted chocolate. Let excess drip off, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow to set.
Decorate: Melt the white chocolate and divide it into separate bowls. Tint each with a few drops of pastel food coloring. Drizzle over the dipped strawberries using a spoon or piping bag. Add edible flowers or sprinkles while the drizzle is still wet.
Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate. Serve chilled.

Variations

White Chocolate Base: Swap dark chocolate for white chocolate and drizzle with pastel-colored candy melts.
Lemon Cheesecake Filling: Add 1 tsp of lemon zest to the cheesecake mixture for a citrusy flavor.
Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle crushed almonds, pistachios, or coconut flakes over the chocolate before it sets.
Graham Cracker Crust: Dip the base of the strawberries in crushed graham crackers for a “cheesecake crust” effect.
Alcohol-Infused: Soak strawberries in a bit of champagne or rum before filling for an adult-friendly twist.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Freezing: Not recommended, as the strawberries can become mushy once thawed.
Reheating: No reheating needed—serve straight from the fridge.
