Ingredients
- 8 large strawberries
- slices of your favorite cheesecake (we recommend the cheesecake factory’s original, white chocolate raspberry truffle®, mango key lime, vanilla bean, fresh banana cream and dulce de leche caramel cheesecake)
- assorted toppings (confetti sprinkles, toasted almonds, toasted coconut, oreo crumbles, toasted peanuts, brickle, etc.)
Directions
- Using a paring knife, cut off the top of the strawberries just below the stem.
- Carefully hollow-out each strawberry using a paring knife.
- Cut-off the bottom of each strawberry to create a flat area that will allow them to stand upright.
- Place slice of cheesecake* into a mixing bowl (*Note: If using Mango Key Lime Cheesecake, first cut off the bottom crust and finely chop the crust before adding to mixing bowl).
- Using a rubber spatula, evenly incorporate all of the cheesecake ingredients and crust together to create a filling with the consistency of a thick pudding.
- Use spatula to transfer cheesecake filling into a pastry bag with a star tip.
- Fill hollowed-out strawberries with cheesecake filling and top with your favorite topping.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
