This is only my third month participating, but the Recipe ReDux is turning 1!  To celebrate, this month we are all posting “Small Bites to Celebrate a Big Event”, following on the latest restaurant dessert trend – mini sweet treats.  So that means that you can sample one from each of the ReDux participants and not feel guilty, right?!  🙂

Just as a reminder, the Recipe Redux is a recipe challenge and blog hop started by registered dietitians, with a focus on DELICIOUS and nutritional foods.  Yes, eating healthy can be tasty!  And that is what all of the participants are here to show you.  Each month there is a theme, and we all post our takes on the theme on the 21st of each month.

I was going to post these awhile ago, but when I saw the the theme for this month’s ReDux, I held this recipe in my back pocket, because I knew it would be a perfect way to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY REDUX!

Chocolate-Covered Cheesecake Strawberries
Author: Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips
Ingredients
  • 1-1 1/2 lb strawberries
  • 4 oz. light cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 T powdered sugar
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1 c dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips chopped chocolate, or candy melts
  • Optional crushed graham crackers chopped nuts, and/or sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Remove the hull from the strawberries, and, using a paring knife, cut a slightly larger cavirty into the strawberry.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the light cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
  3. Using a piping bag, plastic storage bag with the tip cut off, or Pampered Chef Easy-Accent Decorator, pipe the cheesecake filling into the strawberries.
  4. Place the strawberries in the refrigerator for at least half an hour to chill and firm the filling.
  5. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, or over a pot of simmering water.
  6. Dip the cheesecake end into the chocolate, then into the graham crackers, nuts, or sprinkles, if desired.
  7. Stand up on the chocolate-dipped end.
  8. Store in the refrigerator until serving.

Enjoy!

  14. Cheesecake inside a strawberry….!!!! wow, what an amazing idea! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe, I am SO excited to try this. And, your photography is great… makes the dessert look even more appealing (as if the idea of a cheesecake stuffed strawberry wasn’t enough!)
