Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries:
- Fun to make
- Low in sugar and stuffed with protein!
Recipe:
Step 1: Prep the Strawberries
- Wash 28 strawberries and cut off the stems. I used a steak knife to twist out the strawberry cores (to create mini bowls). If you want to be classy, then use an innovative strawberry huller/stem remover.
- Place the strawberries into ice cube trays
Step 2: Make the cheesecake filling:
Thoroughly mix all the ingredients (use an electric hand mixer or a food processor):
- 250g (8 oz or 1 brick) of Light Cream Cheese
- One scoop of BSN Syntha-6 Edge in Vanilla Milkshake.
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
- Sweetener of choice: I used 2 packets of Ideal Sweetener. You can use stevia or your favourite no/low calorie sweetener. Taste test the cheesecake filling to decide how much sweetener you want to add.
Step 3: Stuff the Strawberries with the cheesecake filling
- Place the cheesecake filling into a ziploc bag. Cut the corner of the bottom of the bag and pipe the filling into each strawberry. I didn't end up using all the cheesecake filling (you can save it for another batch of strawberries). Watch the instructional video.
- Eat or place in the fridge for later.
