Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh strawberries
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or vegetable shortening
• 0.25 cup Crushed graham crackers (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Using a small paring knife or a strawberry corer, carefully remove the stems and hollow out the center of each strawberry to create room for the filling. Set the prepared strawberries aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry until full.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or vegetable shortening). Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Dip the filled strawberries into the melted chocolate, covering either half or the entire strawberry, depending on your preference. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

Step 7

If desired, immediately sprinkle the dipped strawberries with crushed graham crackers for extra texture and flavor.

Step 8

Place the completed strawberries on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Let the chocolate set completely by placing them in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful surprise of these Strawberry Surprises!
