Notes

My grandmother was famous for her simple yet elegant desserts. She believed that the best treats were those that allowed the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine. Her "secret ingredient" was always love, hand-picked berries, and a dash of joy. These Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries are my attempt to recreate that same joy, combining the freshness of strawberries with a creamy cheesecake filling and a decadent chocolate coating, just like her simple masterpieces in a new modern way.
