- Wash the strawberries and dry them very well or the chocolate won’t stick. Line a large dish or sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Cut the green stems off the strawberries and hollow out the centers to create a pocket for the cheesecake filling.
- Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil on high at 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Holding the strawberries by the top, dip them into the melted chocolate and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- To prepare the cheesecake strawberry filling, mix the softened cream cheese with your preferred powdered sweetener and vanilla extract.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a ziploc bag with a corner snipped off. Fill each hollowed strawberry with the sweetened cream cheese mixture.
Notes
Chocolate covered strawberries are best served on the same day they are made. For optimal taste and freshness, prepare them up to one day in advance. Store them uncovered in a cool and dry place away from sunlight.
