NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Many people will be hosting family and friends over the next two weeks, but no holiday meal is truly complete without dessert!

Pastry chef Daneshia Lynch shared some treats to add to your holiday party with CBS2's Cindy Hsu, including one that makes chocolate-covered strawberries look pedestrian by comparison!

Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Ingredients:

  • One 8 oz. package cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (softened)
