No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Cut off the green tops. Trim a small, flat base on the bottom of each strawberry so they can stand up.
- Using a melon baller or small paring knife, carefully hollow out the insides of the strawberries to create a cup.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag with a star tip.
- Optional: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Dip the bottom half of each strawberry into the melted chocolate. Stand them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling into each hollowed-out strawberry.
- Refrigerate the filled strawberries for at least 1 hour, or until the filling is firm.
- Just before serving, crush the graham crackers into a fine crumb. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the filled strawberries. Serve immediately.
