Valentine’s Day is coming up! My favorite tradition is to make my no-bake raspberry cheesecake, but I wanted to make something quick & easy this year so I decided to try cheesecake stuffed strawberries. My 3-year-old helped me & although it took longer with her, we had fun & whipped these up in under 10 minutes 🙂 When my other kiddos got home from school, it was I could do to keep them from devouring the plate of strawberries that I was trying to photograph. So if you want really quick & easy then these 3-ingredient cheesecake stuffed strawberries are for you 😉 To be fair, I didn’t count the strawberries as on of the ingredients & the chocolate drizzles is just a bonus 😉
3-ingredient cheesecake stuffed strawberries (THM S, low carb, keto)
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces reduced -fat cream cheese softened
- 1/4 c. gentle sweet or any powdered sweetener equivalent
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract or vanilla
- 1/4 c. Lily's dark chocolate chips to drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Wash & dry the strawberries & set on a plate
- Using a paring knife, cut the stems off & cut out the middles of the strawberries
- Make the filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, sweetener, & extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until well combined (1-2 minutes)
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture in a sandwich baggie & seal it
- Cut off the end of the baggie & pipe the cream cheese filling into the strawberries
- If desired, melt 1/4 c chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time @ 50% power unti melted, stirring after each 30 second interval
- Use a fork to drizzle over the strawberries
- Keep in the fridge until ready to serve
Notes
Here’s the plain version:
These are still tasty without the chocolate, but if you like the strawberry/chocolate combo then you’ll love it!
