Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 12 fresh strawberries, hulled
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
3. Spoon the cheesecake filling into small cups, leaving some space at the top for the strawberries.
4. Place a strawberry into each cup, pressing it gently into the filling.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Dip each filled strawberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered, then place back in the cups.
7. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a fun twist, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top of the cheesecake before chilling for added texture.

For best results, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth filling. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought cheesecake filling for a quicker option. Want to mix it up? Try using raspberries or blueberries instead of strawberries for a different flavor profile!

These cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, but they are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to prepare them in advance, consider dipping the strawberries in chocolate just before serving to maintain their freshness.
