Cheesecake filled Strawberries


I love cheesecake,let me just state that before I continue.Seeing that my sister is a die-hard cheesecake fan,taking bites off of her plate through the years has resulted in me learning to love it.Basically cheesecake is exactly what the name suggests,a cake made out of cheese,now dont go running into your kitchen looking for cheddar cheese to start making cheesecake.This sweet and salty cake is usually made of cream cheese and may seem simple in the beginning but once you add that perfect topping,then you have begun your journey into the land of many possibilities (all of which end with you running in the gym,but lets ignore the ugly truth for now).

Now as i keep complaining about finding ingrdients,the most upsetting loss for me is not finding graham crackers.Cheesecake usually has a crust made of melted butter and crushed graham crackers,yes i know you can use other biscuits but it just isn't right,graham crackers add that kick to any  cheesecake.I also had eaten soo much cheesecake,that now the original strawberry cheesecake just feels normal to me,nothing exciting (sad story of my life)So i set out on a way to find something different from the ordinary cheesecake,and now i have discovered these tiny pieces of cheesecake heaven.

Recipe

1 box strawberries(usually 10-12)
4 oz Cream Cheese
1 tbsp white sugar
3 tbsp Maple syrup/Carmel Sauce(depending on how strong you want the flavour)
1/4 cup chocolate chips
3 tbsp milk or whipping cream
whipped cream topping (optional)

1.Wash the strawberries and make sure you dry them with a paper towel otherwise the chocolate won't stick.Remove the stem of the strawberries and using a fruit core remover,or a knife scoop out the center of the strawberry,leaving it hollow.Also cut a piece off the bottom of the strawberry so that it can stand on its own.
2.Using a hand mixer blend the cream cheese,sugar,maple syrup until well combined.Then place it in the fridge for 20 minutes.
3.While the cream cheese mix is cooling,place the chocolate chips and milk in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 10 seconds then mix.Then repeat the heat and mix process until the chocolate is completely melted.
4.When the cream cheese is ready,using a small spoon or icing cone pour it into the hollow part of the strawberries until it is full(be careful not to let it overflow) then dip the filled strawberries in the melted chocolate.Place in fridge for 10 minutes.
5.Spray on whipped cream and enjoy.

Tip:Don't make more than 5 hours in advance for your strawberries may become soggy.
