How to Make Cookie Butter Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup cookie butter (Biscoff or Speculoos spread)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk (if needed for smoothness)
- 12-15 large strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or Biscoff cookies
- 2 tbsp melted butter (to help crumbs stick)
Directions:
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk to make it easier to pipe. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small hole cut in the corner.
Step 2: Prep the Strawberries
Wash and hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and coring the center with a small knife or spoon. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3: Assemble the Stuffed Berries
Pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each strawberry. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies with melted butter. Dip the top of each stuffed strawberry into the cookie crumbs to coat it.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
Chill the stuffed strawberries for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and for the best texture.
