Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and dry them very well or the chocolate won't stick. Line a large dish or sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Cut the green stems off the strawberries and hollow out the centers to create a pocket for the cheesecake filling. Use a small measuring spoon, melon baller or pairing knife. If you want the strawberries to stand upright, cut a small piece from the bottom tip.
- Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil on high at 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Stop when most of the chocolate has melted; the rest will melt in the residual heat as you stir.
- Holding the strawberries by the top, dip them into the melted chocolate, and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place each chocolate-covered strawberry on a parchment paper-lined tray or plate to dry.
- If the chocolate starts to cool and becomes too thick to dip, you can give it a quick burst in the microwave to remelt.
- To prepare the cheesecake strawberry filing, mix the softened cream cheese with your preferred powdered sweetener and vanilla extract for flavor. Stir until smooth. Taste it and adjust sweetness to your liking.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a ziploc bag with a corner snipped off. Or, if you prefer, just grab a small spoon. Fill each hollowed strawberry with the sweetened cream cheese mixture. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cream cheese: Needs to be at room temperature or slightly softened in the microwave or it will be too hard to pipe. You can also use spreadable cream cheese straight from the fridge as it is softer and will be easier to pipe into the strawberries.
- Storage: Chocolate covered strawberries are best served on the same day they are made. For optimal taste and freshness, prepare them up to one day in advance. Store them uncovered in a cool and dry place away from sunlight.
