CHEESECAKE STUFFED STRAWBERRIES
I always have mixed emotions on Mother’s Day. It’s a beautiful day to celebrate and recognize all that moms do.
I’m so grateful to be a mother but always feel like there’s room for improvement on my part. My own mother is amazing and I can only hope to be half the mom she is.
But then I’m also very sensitive to those who are future moms or want to be moms and can’t. Then I think of those, like my nephew, who have moms in heaven watching over them. I’m torn the whole day.
HOLLOW OUT THE STRAWBERRIES
To hollow out the strawberries use a small pairing knife. This makes a hole for the filling to go into.
CHEESECAKE FILLING
The cheesecake filling is very simple. The ingredients are cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
HOW TO MAKE CHEESECAKE STUFFED STRAWBERRIES
