Ingredients
-
10-12 fresh strawberries, stems removed and sliced in half lengthwise
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips (Hu or Enjoy Life recommended)
-
1/3 cup salted pistachios, very finely chopped
-
8 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/6 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
-
Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, carefully carve out a small hole in the center of each strawberry half so it resembles a hard-boiled egg with the yolk removed. Set aside.
-
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is almost melted. Stir until smooth and creamy.
-
Finely chop the pistachios until mostly powdery with a few small chunks remaining.
-
Dip each strawberry half into the melted chocolate, then immediately into the chopped pistachios. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15–20 minutes.
-
While the strawberries chill, make the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt on high speed until smooth, light, and whipped.
-
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or cookie press fitted with a decorative tip.
-
Remove the strawberries from the refrigerator and pipe the cream cheese filling into the hollowed centers.
-
Sprinkle with remaining pistachio dust. Serve chilled.
