Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
12 strawberries fresh hulled
20 golden sandwich cookies crushed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed
Instructions
1. Wash, dry, and hull the strawberries, ensuring no moisture remains.
2. Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Add vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until light and fluffy.
6. Scoop cheesecake mixture and wrap it around each strawberry, forming a ball.
7. Place coated strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 30–45 minutes.
8. Mix crushed cookies, melted butter, and freeze-dried strawberries to create the crunch coating.
9. Roll each chilled cheesecake bite in the coating, pressing gently to adhere.
10. Chill again for 15–20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use fully softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
Dry strawberries completely to prevent slipping of the cheesecake layer.
Chill thoroughly before coating to maintain perfect shape.
