Cheesecake Chocolate Covered Strawberries Whoo!



A great way to make Valentine's Day unforgettable!

Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
About 20 medium strawberries, washed and cored
16 oz. Semi sweet chocolate

First create your filling by combining the sugar and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth with an electric mixer. Stir in the cookie crumbs. Allow your filling to cool in the fridge for a bit.

Next, melt the chocolate in 30 second increments in the microwave, or over a double boiler. Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, dip each strawberry into the chocolate, and place on parchment paper. Allow chocolate to set.

Now for the filling, you will want to use a pastry bag with a star tip. Fill your pastry bag with chilled filling and pipe some filling into the hollowed out center of your berries. Chill the berries until you are ready to serve them.

Easy, but very impressive!
