Inside-Out Strawberry Cheesecake

1. 1

   Using a pairing knife, cut the stems off the strawberries and carefully take out the middle/insides, by using a scooping motion with the knife, along the perimeter of the strawberry. Make sure not to make any holes (reserve the insides for another use, ex: smoothie, yogurt topping, or sangria/wine garnish).

2. 2

   Cut off a tiny piece off the bottom tips of the strawberries (this will allow them to stand up in your plate; reserve and use the bottoms for the above suggestions); be sure not to make a hole in the bottom...so don't cut too much off!

3. 3

   Whisk together cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg.

4. 4

   Place the cheese mixture into a pastry bag, with a star tip at the end of it; alternatively, working in batches, place cheese mixture into a zip-lock bag and cut a tiny hole in one of the corners.

5. 5

   Fill strawberries with cheese mixture.

6. 6

   Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of strawberries...Enjoy!
