Life is too short to stuff a strawberry!!!

A friend of mine had mentioned that she had seen a picture of these Cheesecake strawberries on Pinterest and they sounded lovely.  I definitely thought they were worth trying, even if they looked a bit fiddly and time consuming.  The basic idea is to hull the strawberries (taking away a bit more than you normally would), pipe in the cheesecake mix and dip into the biscuit crumbs.

To make them you will need the following:

LArge strawberries

200g carton of cream cheese

Carton of whipping cream (whipped)

1/2 cup of icing sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

6 hobnob biscuits (or digestives if you prefer)

Instructions

Hull the strawberries (create a hole in the centre of the strawberry for the mixture)

Beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar and whipped cream.  Add the vanilla essence.  Place the mixture in a piping bag

Pipe the mixture into the strawberries

Dip the strawberries into the biscuit crumbs and chill in fridge

Serve to your guests.

I had a mixed response to mine with some people loving them and some people hating them.  I used some of the leftover mix and strawberries to create a cheesecake style dessert.  I placed sliced strawberries in a bowl, topped with the cheesecake mixture and sprinkled over the biscuit crumbs.  This version proved much more popular which led me to conclude that life really is too short to stuff a strawberry!!
