Description

Strawberry and Cream Bites are delightful no-bake treats featuring fresh, juicy strawberries filled with a smooth vanilla cream cheese mixture. These light and refreshing bites are perfect for parties, holidays, or as an easy summer dessert that requires minimal preparation.

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Optional Garnish

  • crushed graham crackers
  • chocolate drizzle
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry to prevent watery filling. Cut off the tops and carefully hollow out the center using a small spoon or melon baller.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring the texture is light and airy.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, preserving as much airiness as possible for a light filling.
  5. Fill Strawberries: Transfer the cream filling into a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling generously into the hollowed strawberries.
  6. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle crushed graham crackers, drizzle melted chocolate, or add sprinkles on top of the filled strawberries for extra texture and flavor.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the filled strawberries for 20 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Best served the same day for the freshest flavor and optimal texture.
  • Pat strawberries dry thoroughly to avoid watery filling.
  • These bites can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • For a convenient shortcut, substitute whipped topping in place of homemade whipped cream.
