Vampire Bite Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Hand mixer
- Knife
- Toothpick
Ingredients
- 12 large strawberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and pat them dry. Slice a small V-shaped notch near the top of each strawberry to create a bite mark opening.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until combined.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream and beat the mixture for one minute until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into the V-shaped openings of each strawberry.
- Warm the strawberry jam slightly in a small bowl, then use a toothpick to dab small amounts inside and around the bite marks to look like blood.
Notes
Chill the filled strawberries for 20 minutes before serving so the filling firms up and holds its shape. If the jam is too thick, stir in a few drops of water to make it easier to apply. For a milder flavor, reduce the vanilla by half. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
