If you’re looking for a skinny dessert, then these strawberries stuffed with a lemony cream cheese filling are for you. Just be sure not to taste test, or you’ll be done for!
This has to be the easiest dessert recipe I’ve ever made with the most WOW factor.
I simply cut the bottom from gigantic strawberries and sliced them into quarters leaving the bottom intact.
Then I combined low fat cream cheese with honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice until it was very soft. I folded in whipped topping. Took about 3 minutes?
I stuffed my strawberries with my sweet cheesecake like filling, then sprinkled lemon zest on top. Can’t beat that for a quick dessert, can you?
Give it a try and let me know if there’s a strawberry left on the plate!
