Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pint (about 250 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup (120 grams) crushed vanilla sandwich cookies
  • ½ cup (60 grams) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:

  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)

Binding and Base Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup (60 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Vigorously whip softened cream cheese using a hand mixer until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  2. Incorporate heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Continue blending until the filling transforms into a luxuriously light and airy texture.
  4. Transfer the prepared mixture to the refrigerator, allowing it to cool and slightly firm up for optimal piping and shaping.
  5. The chilled filling will provide a stable base for creating delicate and decadent strawberry cheesecake crunch bites.

Notes

  • Select room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest, lump-free texture that blends effortlessly.
  • Chill the cheesecake mixture thoroughly to help it set and develop a richer, more intense flavor profile.
  • Experiment with different fruit extracts like raspberry or peach to create unique variations of this delightful dessert bite.
  • Opt for Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to heavy cream for a lighter, tangier cheesecake filling that still maintains a creamy consistency.
