Linda's Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries
By: Linda's Busy Kitchen
Mar 11, 2007
OMG.. These are like heaven in your mouth! Talk about great taste sensations... I made these for one of my cooking and recipe events that I hold monthly, and these were a HUGE hit... A must try for sure! You can use low fat cream cheese to make these lighter if you like. You can also dip the ends with any kind of finely chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, sprinkles, or dip the ends in chocolate or drizzle with chocolate. You might even try adding some cocoa powder to the cream cheese and make it a chocolate filling. The sky is the limit here, just use your imagination!

These were to die for. I made them for the "Think Pink 2009" event. We gobbled them up. I took pictures but they were not nearly as pretty as those posted so I didn't upload to the recipe, although I am posting in the Think Pink Tag Game. Thanks for posting, next party I am going to I will be taking a big plate of these.

These strawberries are out of this world good! I made for company over the weekend and they were enjoyed by all. My SIL said they were so refreshing, sweet and delicious she is going to make them for Mother's day for her mother. I think I am going to do the same. She will love them! I used unsalted pistashios on some and almonds on others. We loved them both! When I make moms I am going to dip the bottoms in dark and milk chocolate for an added bonus. I am sure they will put a BIG smile on her face, and love in her tummy!

I made these as a test run to make for my mother for Mother's Day, and they she is going to LOVE them! I made with walnuts on some and pecans on others. I even dipped the tips in chocolate. Talk about good, these are the ultimate! My mom is going to be so surprised and thrilled with these. I am going to put them in a little basket and put pastel Easter wrapping over the basket, along with a bow. I can't wait to make up some more for her, now that I have had MY mother's day treat :D
