Instructions

Wash strawberries and pat completely dry with paper towels. Remove stems and slice off pointed tips to create flat bottoms.

Using a small knife or strawberry huller, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry, leaving walls about 1/4-inch thick.

Place hollowed strawberries upside down on paper towels to drain any excess juice for 15 minutes.

Make cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy cream, lemon juice, and salt. Beat until smooth and well combined.

Transfer filling to a piping bag or zip-lock bag with corner cut off.

Pipe cheesecake filling into each hollowed strawberry, filling completely and creating a small mound on top.

Place filled strawberries on parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour to set filling.

Melt chocolate chips, coconut oil, and butter in double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.

Let chocolate cool slightly, about 5 minutes, but keep warm enough for dipping.

Dip each strawberry into chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on parchment paper.

Immediately sprinkle with desired toppings before chocolate sets. Refrigerate for 1 hour until chocolate is firm.
