Ingredients

For the Filling:

8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (approx. 150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and diced (pieces should be roughly 1/4-inch)

For the Biscuit Bombs:

2 cans (16 oz or 450g each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (each can typically contains 8 biscuits, totaling 16 biscuits)
1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula to beat the softened cream cheese until it is completely smooth and creamy. Add the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and the vanilla extract, and continue to mix until well combined and fully incorporated. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries with a spatula, being careful not to crush the berries. Set the filling aside.
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
Fill the Biscuits: Open the cans of refrigerated biscuits and separate each biscuit. On a lightly floured surface or a piece of parchment paper, use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a thin round, approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter.
Assemble: Place a generous, slightly rounded tablespoon of the strawberry cream cheese filling into the center of each flattened biscuit round. Be careful not to let the filling touch the edges, as this will prevent the biscuit from sealing properly.
Form the Bombs: To seal, gather the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching them together tightly in the center to create a secure seal. Ensure there are no gaps where the filling could escape. Gently roll the formed biscuit bomb between your palms to create a smooth, round shape. Place the filled biscuit bombs, sealed-side down, on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 to 2 inches apart.
Top and Bake: Brush the tops of all the biscuit bombs evenly with the melted butter. Immediately sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are a deep golden brown color and the filling may be bubbling slightly from the seams.
Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the biscuit bombs to cool on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This brief rest allows the creamy filling to set slightly, making it easier to eat while still warm and gooey. Serve warm.

Tips for Success

Don’t Overfill: It can be tempting to add more filling, but resist! Overfilling will make it difficult to seal the biscuits properly, and the filling may burst out during baking.
Seal Securely: Take your time pinching the edges of the dough together. A secure seal is key to keeping the creamy strawberry filling inside where it belongs.
Serve Warm: These treats are at their absolute best when warm. The cream cheese filling is soft and gooey, and the strawberries are tender. If they cool completely, you can reheat them (see below).
Use Fresh Berries: While frozen berries can be used in a pinch, they tend to release more moisture as they thaw, which can make the filling slightly runny. Fresh, firm strawberries are ideal for this recipe.
Variations: Feel free to experiment! You could substitute the strawberries with fresh raspberries or blackberries. For a citrus twist, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest to the cream cheese filling.

Storage and Reheating

Storage: Leftover biscuit bombs should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To enjoy them warm again, microwave an individual biscuit bomb on high for 15 to 20 seconds, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven or toaster oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until heated and the exterior is slightly crisp.

Serving Suggestions

For an extra touch of elegance or indulgence, serve the warm strawberry cream stuffed biscuit bombs with one of these options:

A light dusting of powdered sugar.
A drizzle of simple vanilla glaze (made from powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and a drop of vanilla extract).
A dollop of fresh whipped cream.
A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side.
