The recipe is quite easy once you have the assembly line set up. All you need is a paring knife and a piping bag or Ziploc bag. Once you remove the stem from the strawberries, scoop out the insides to stuff the cheesecake. Then pipe the stuffing inside and set on a sheet of parchment paper. Melt chocolate and carefully dip the strawberries and set on the parchment paper again to harden. Chill and serve. Quite easy isn’t it? This recipe is a good cooking project for little hands. I’m sure we’ll be eating strawberries more often this way, how about you?
