Picking strawberries with a deep cup makes the job easy, since the hollow holds more filling. I pipe a vanilla cheesecake mix into each one and chill so it firms, then a dust of erythritol finishes them. They disappear faster than a full cake ever would.

Instructions

Hull from the top with a small spoon so the berry keeps its shape. Make them the morning of, because the cream weeps if they sit too long. A plate of these needs no fork and no plate really.
