Lucy's Girl Scout Strawberry Lemonade Cheesecake Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 pack Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 1-2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 6 crushed Girl Scout Lemonades Cookies - need 3 for filling and 3 for garnish
- 1 pack of Fresh Strawberries
Directions
In mixer, blend cream cheese, condensed milk, vanilla and lemon zest and 3 crushed cookies. Add powdered sugar until desired thickness. Cut the stems off of each strawberry and cut the bottoms off to flatten for standing. Using a small knife, hollow out a small hole in the center of each strawberry. Using piping bag or ziplock sandwich bag with small corner cut and squeeze filling in each strawberry. Either dip top of strawberry in crushed cookies or sprinkle cookies on top. Consider leaving out the lemon zest and using Girl Scout Shortbread cookies instead. You could also leave out the lemon zest, add in shaved chocolate and use Girl Scout S'mores or Thanks-a-lots. Like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Leave out the lemon zest and use Girl Scout Peanut Butter Sandwiches. Use your imagination!
