Servings: 6
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 large strawberries (tops removed and cored)
- 1/2 cup fat-free cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp powdered sweetener (like stevia or monk fruit, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: a few fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and remove the tops. Use a small paring knife or a strawberry corer to hollow out the center of each strawberry, creating space for the cheesecake filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened fat-free cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stuff the Strawberries: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cheesecake mixture. Be generous with the filling, but don’t overfill to avoid it spilling out.
- Chill (Optional): Place the stuffed strawberries in the fridge for about 10 minutes to chill and firm up the filling before serving (this step is optional but adds a nice touch).
- Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy this light, sweet, and creamy treat!
