Do you guys know I've been working on this Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberry recipe since this time last year? Well "working on" isn't the best word for it. Because I actually got this recipe to right where I wanted it but I had a few photography problems.
At that point, I didn't really own any piping tips (bad food blogger, right? I know.). So being the scrappy, get-it-done gal that I am, I figured I'd put it into a ziplock back and "pipe it" that way into the strawberries. And in theory this was an excellent idea because it was certainly an easy way to work with what I had and get the cheesecake filling into the strawberries.
Except as I was piping, I realized that they resembled a certain emoji that we all know and love. I'll give you some clues: it's brown, it's got a swirl on top and it's got a happy little smile. That's right, my friends. Because, it was chocolate cheesecake filling, it looked like poop emoji stuffed strawberries. For Valentine's Day. I'm so romantic.
Needless to say, I couldn't photograph them and put them onto the blog. And I also couldn't seem to get my act together enough to get some piping tips and take photos that didn't look like they involved fecal matter. So I shelved the recipe until this year in favor of some other recipes.
But here we are, one year later and I'm definitely more prepared. I'm super excited to share these because they're totally delicious and insanely easy to make. These did not last long in our house- the girls were especially excited to see them because strawberries are one of their favorite things to eat and so is chocolate!
Now you'll want to make sure that you're creating a flat enough base on the bottom of the strawberry that it will stand up on it's own. It really looks harder than it is. And it's a no bake dessert that looks like you put a ton of effort into them- these are a total show stopper and an excellent way to show your love to friends and family. Or to wow your guests at your next party.
