FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
CAN I USE A DIFFERENT COOKIE?
Yes, you can definitely use a different cookie for your cheesecake-stuffed strawberries!
Golden Oreos, shortbread cookies, or even your favorite low-carb cookies can be crushed into cookie crumbs and make an excellent substitute for graham crackers.
Using a different type of cookie can add a new twist to the creamy filling, making each cheesecake bite uniquely delicious.
It’s all about finding what works best for your taste buds and dietary needs.
WHAT SIZE STRAWBERRIES ARE THE BEST TO USE?
Larger strawberries are the best choice for creating the perfect bite-sized dessert.
Ripe strawberries of a bigger size not only make the centers of the strawberries easier to fill with the cheesecake mixture but also provide a more impressive presentation on your serving platter.
Using a small paring knife or a serrated grapefruit spoon can help remove the bottom of the strawberry to create a cone shape, perfect for stuffing.
