Ingredients:

  • For the Strawberry Bombs:
    • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ½ cup crushed graham crackers (for coating)
  • For the Chocolate Drizzle (optional):
    • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1 tsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries:
    • Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
    • Carefully hull each strawberry, making sure to create a hollow space without breaking the fruit.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
    • If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to enhance the appearance of the filling.
  3. Stuff the Strawberries:
    • Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill each hulled strawberry with the cream cheese mixture. Ensure they are generously filled.
  4. Coat with Graham Crackers:
    • Roll each filled strawberry in crushed graham crackers until well-coated. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall flavor.
  5. Optional Chocolate Drizzle:
    • If you’re adding a chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
    • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coated strawberries for an extra touch of decadence.
  6. Chill and Serve:
    • Place the Strawberry Bombs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the filling and allow the flavors to meld.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy these delightful treats!

Tips:

  • For a fruity twist, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the cream cheese mixture.
  • These Strawberry Bombs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
