A delightful and easy-to-make dessert featuring fresh strawberries hollowed out and filled with a creamy, sweet cheesecake mixture, topped with crunchy graham cracker crumbs. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or a light sweet treat.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 stuffed strawberries

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 12 large strawberries (tops removed)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Fresh mint for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Hollow the strawberries: Use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully scoop out the insides of the strawberries, creating space for the filling.
  2. Prepare strawberries for serving: Optionally, slice a small portion off the bottoms of the strawberries so they can stand upright on a plate, or leave them whole to serve on their sides.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: Place softened cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add powdered sugar: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar into the cream cheese, beating until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Add cream and vanilla: Beat in the heavy cream and vanilla extract for an additional minute to achieve a light, fluffy texture.
  6. Fill the piping bag: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or use a resealable plastic bag with a small cut at the tip.
  7. Pipe cheesecake into strawberries: Fill each hollowed strawberry by piping the cheesecake mixture inside, ensuring they are generously stuffed.
  8. Top and garnish: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries for crunch and optional texture. Garnish the serving plate with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Using a piping bag creates a neat and decorative appearance but a spoon can also be used.
  • The strawberries can be chilled for 10-15 minutes after filling to firm up the cheesecake mixture before serving.
  • To make it dairy-free or vegan, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • For a different flavor twist, add a bit of lemon zest or strawberry puree to the cheesecake filling.
