Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth; spoon into a piping bag or a resealabe bag with a corner snipped.
• Fill cavities of cored strawberries with the cream cheese mixture. Dip filled side of strawberries in the crushed graham crackers to coat.

Steps:

• For the crust: Grind the cookies into a powder in a food processor, then add the granulated and brown sugars and butter. Mix until completely incorporated.
• For the cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat to soften. Add the granulated sugar and beat until incorporated. Add the sour cream, vanilla and salt and mix until incorporated. Add the eggs one by one until they are all incorporated. Spray 2 cheesecake pans with nonstick spray. Divide the crust as the base of the cheesecake in both pans. Then add the cheesecake mixture on top of both crusts. Place in a water bath so the water reaches the middle of the pan and bake for 2 hours.
• For the strawberry syrup: Add the strawberries and granulated sugar to a heatproof mixing bowl and cover. Add the mixing bowl to a water bath and bake for 45 minutes. Strain the strawberry liquid into a bowl. Reserve the strawberries for another use. Put the strawberry liquid bowl in an ice bath and add the guar gum. Mix it for 30 seconds.
• For the french toast: In a mixing bowl, mix the milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and eggs.
• Make a small incision with a paring knife in the bottom part of the brioche bread slices. Insert 2 ounces of the cheesecake inside each bread slice and cover the cheesecake up with a piece of the bread. Reserve the graham crumbs for plating.
• Preheat a griddle to medium heat. Dip each slice into the egg mixture and put onto the griddle. Cook until toasted and golden brown on both sides.
• Cut the French toast in half and then place them on a plate with the fresh strawberries, strawberry syrup, graham crumbs and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• With a paring knife, cut off the strawberry stems. Cut around the inside of the strawberry, hollowing out slightly and creating a well for the cheesecake. (You can also do this with a small melon baller). Cut off a small portion of the pointy strawberry tip, so that each strawberry can stand. Place each on a large plate, baking sheet or type of serving tray.
• In a medium bowl, with a standing or handheld electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Place mixture in a pastry bag and pipe into each strawberry, adding a little extra to the top. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Optionally, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each stuffed strawberry.
• Enjoy!

Steps:
