Strawberry Cheesecake Berries

Strawberry Cheesecake Berries

All the flavor of strawberry cheesecake, wrapped up in the cutest little bite you’ve ever seen. Sweet, creamy, and dangerously snackable.

Ingredients

  • 1 canister Dolci Frutta White Melting Wafers
  • 1 pint of strawberries
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 oz freeze-dried strawberries
  • 8 oz shortbread cookies
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • Piping bag
  • Wax paper

Instructions

  1. Add freeze-dried strawberries, shortbread cookies, and butter to a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles small crumbs and is well blended. Set aside for later, this will be our strawberry crunch topping!
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Transfer to a piping bag.
  3. Wash and dry strawberries.
  4. Remove tops and hull strawberries.
  5. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  6. Melt Dolci Frutta according to package directions.
  7. Carefully dip the strawberry in melted Dolci (it’s okay to get messy). Set on a prepared baking sheet.
  8. Top berry with strawberry crunch topping.
  9. Using gloved hands (to avoid leaving finger prints), fill the hulled strawberries with the cream cheese filling.
  10. Sprinkle the top of the berry with extra strawberry crunch topping.

Tips

Wait just a moment before topping the dipped berries with the strawberry crunch topping. The coating should be set enough to hold them, but still slightly wet.
