Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

November 18, 2014 Dessert Recipes, Recipe's No comments

Ingredients:

lb. fresh strawberries, rinsed and pat dry
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Graham cracker crumbs (optional)

 

Directions:

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 baking sheet.

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.

It should be approximately 325 degrees. Combine pepper, salt and cornmeal in a bowl large enough for dredging catfish fillets. Pour buttermilk in a separate bowl. Dip catfish into buttermilk, making certain each side is covered. Press catfish into seasoned cornmeal mixture, then flip and coat the second side. Place catfish on a plate. Repeat dredging process with the remaining catfish fillets. Lower a breaded catfish fillet into hot oil with tongs. Cook each fillet for about 8 minutes, or until the catfish floats to the top and features a golden hue. Serve immediately.
