How to Make Cookie Butter Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Making Cookie Butter Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries is fun and straightforward. Here’s what you need:

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

Directions:

Step 1: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the mixture is too thick to pipe, add 1 tablespoon of milk to make it smoother. Once mixed, transfer this blend to a piping bag.

Step 2: Next, wash and hull the strawberries. This means you need to remove the green tops and core the center. Make sure to pat them dry using a paper towel.

Step 3: Now, it’s time to fill those strawberries! Pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each strawberry.

Step 4: In a small bowl, mix your crushed cookies with melted butter. Dip each stuffed strawberry into the cookie crumb mixture to coat the top.

Step 5: Chill your delicious strawberries in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors blend and makes for a refreshing treat. Enjoy!
