Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 15 large strawberries
• 6oz Light cream cheese
• ¼ cup Confectioner’s sugar
• ¼ cup Crushed shortbread biscuits

The combination of these ingredients creates a dish that’s both sweet and tangy, creamy and crunchy, making it a treat that’s sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Instructions

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of how to prepare these yummy bites!

Core the Strawberries: Start by washing and drying your strawberries. Then, carefully core each strawberry. Be careful not to core too much, as you don’t want the strawberries to break. You want to create a nice hollow space in each strawberry for the cream cheese filling.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the light cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and creamy. This mixture will give your bites a sweet and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the fresh strawberries.

Fill the Strawberries: Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each cored strawberry with the cream cheese mixture. Make sure to fill them up to the top so you get plenty of that delicious filling in each bite!

Dip in Biscuit Mixture: Next, press the filled side of the strawberries down into the crushed shortbread biscuits. The biscuits will stick to the cream cheese mixture and give your bites a delightful crunch.

Freeze: Place the filled and dipped strawberries in the freezer for about 45 minutes. This will help the cream cheese filling set and make your bites easier to handle and eat.

And that’s it! Your Strawberry Shortcake Bites are ready to serve and enjoy.

Recipe Tips

Here are some tips to keep in mind when making your Strawberry Shortcake Bites:

• Make sure to choose strawberries that are ripe but still firm. This will make them easier to core and they will hold up better in the freezer.
• If you don’t have a piping bag to fill the strawberries, you can use a resealable plastic bag. Just fill the bag with the cream cheese mixture, cut off one corner, and squeeze the mixture into the strawberries.
• Don’t skip the freezing step! This helps the cream cheese filling set and keeps your bites from getting too messy when you eat them.

Substitutions

If you want to switch things up a bit, there are several substitutions you can make in this recipe:

• You can use any type of biscuit you like for the coating. Graham crackers or digestive biscuits would work well too.
• If you’re not a fan of cream cheese, you could use whipped cream or mascarpone cheese instead.
• For a vegan version, use vegan cream cheese and a vegan biscuit for the coating.
