4.7 from 29 reviews

Delightful and elegant Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake Bites combine creamy cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries dipped in rich chocolate, perfect for a sophisticated mini dessert or party treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesecake Bites:

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 68 fresh strawberries, hulled

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • ½ cup dark or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoothness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Fill the strawberries: Slice the top off each strawberry and carefully hollow out a small portion inside to create space for the filling. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each strawberry with the cheesecake mixture.
  3. Chill: Place the filled strawberries on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake filling to firm up, making them easier to handle for dipping.
  4. Dip in chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips together with coconut oil or butter in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Dip the top of each filled strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
  5. Set and serve: Place the chocolate-dipped strawberries back onto the tray and refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set. Serve chilled as elegant mini dessert bites that are perfect for parties or special occasions.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • The coconut oil or butter in the chocolate helps create a smoother coating and better shine.
  • Be gentle while hollowing out strawberries to avoid breaking them.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles on the chocolate before it sets.
