Cheesecake Strawberries
Ingredients
Large strawberries
4 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Pecans
Milk or dark chocolate chips
Directions
1. Wash your strawberries, then slice them in half lengthwise.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together your cream cheese, butter, and vanilla.
3. Add in your powdered sugar and mix to finish the frosting.
4. Place a coupler and star frosting tip inside a large decorating bag, then scoop your frosting in. You could also put your frosting in a Ziploc bag with one bottom corner cut, or just use a spoon.
5. Frost the top of each strawberry.
6. Crush your pecans in a small Ziplock bag by hitting the bag of pecans with the flat side of a meat tenderizer (be careful not to hit the bag so much that it tears). Or you could quickly crush the pecans by putting them in a food processor.
7. Top off each frosted strawberry with crushed pecans.
8. Melt your chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl, on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
9. Pour your melted chocolate into a decorating bottle or bag (again, you could just use a Ziploc bag or a spoon).
10. Drizzle your melted chocolate on top of the strawberries.
Enjoy your homemade cheesecake strawberries!
