Description
Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are a bite-sized dessert combining fresh strawberries with a rich cheesecake filling. This no-bake treat is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
12 large strawberries
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for garnish)
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and cut off the tops, removing the stems. Hollow out the center of each strawberry using a small spoon or paring knife.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
- Fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cheesecake mixture. A piping bag works best for a neat fill, but a spoon is fine too.
- Garnish the tops with graham cracker crumbs or chocolate chips for added flavor and crunch.
- Arrange the stuffed strawberries on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
These strawberries can be prepared a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated for 1 to 2 days.
If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess moisture to avoid sogginess.
The graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips are optional, but they add extra flavor and texture.
You can substitute cream cheese with low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
