Ingredients
- 12 medium (about 1 lb / 450g) strawberries
- 4 oz (113g) softened cream cheese
- 1 tbsp erythritol
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Using a paring knife, slice each of the 12 strawberries in half lengthwise, then carefully scoop out the center with a small spoon to create a cavity, leaving a small base.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp erythritol, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Step 3: Fill each strawberry half with 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture, then top with a dollop of 1/2 cup heavy cream that has been whipped to soft peaks (whipped for 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer).
