Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Rinse strawberries and pat them dry. Remove the tops and hull the center using a small paring knife.
1 pound (about 12-15) large strawberries
Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely melted.
6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Dip each strawberry in melted chocolate. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set. While the strawberries set, prepare the cheesecake filling.
In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth. Add heavy cream and beat for an additional 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the filling to chill.
4 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Transfer the chilled cheesecake filling to a piping bag with a tip. Pipe some filling into each chocolate-covered strawberry.
If the filling seems soft, place strawberries in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set the cheesecake filling.
Serve immediately or within 12 hours for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Dry strawberries thoroughly. Pat the strawberries completely dry after rinsing to help the chocolate adhere properly.
Storage: Store leftover strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
