Strawberry Bombs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 8-10 large strawberries (fresh)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or more, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for extra sweetness!)
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional for a “cheesecake” vibe)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
- Cut off the green stems, then use a small knife to hollow out the center of each strawberry. Be careful not to cut all the way through—just enough to create a little pocket.
- Make the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- If you’re adding mini chocolate chips or graham cracker crumbs, fold them into the mixture for a fun twist!
- Fill the Strawberries:
- Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cream cheese mixture. Don’t overstuff, just enough so it’s a little heaping.
- Optional Coating:
- If you want an extra layer of flavor, dip the filled strawberries into graham cracker crumbs or even a little chocolate drizzle.
- Chill (Optional but recommended!):
- Place the filled strawberries on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the filling firm up a bit and makes them even more refreshing.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, they’re ready to serve! These little strawberry bombs are perfect for a sweet snack, party treat, or a fun dessert!
Tips:
- Make them fancy: If you’re feeling extra, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top or dip the strawberries in white or dark chocolate before filling.
- Flavor swaps: You can try using mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese for a different texture, or add lemon zest to the filling for a citrusy twist.
These little “bombs” are super versatile, and you can get creative with what goes inside! Are you planning on making them for a specific occasion, or just as a fun snack?
