Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh Strawberries (firm, bright red) – quantity as desired
  • Cream Cheese (softened) – about 8 oz (225g)
  • Powdered Sugar – approximately 1/2 cup (60g), adjust to taste
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed Graham Crackers
  • Chocolate Chips (mini)
  • Chopped Nuts (pistachios, almonds, pecans)
  • Chocolate Ganache or melted dark chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Using a small knife, strawberry huller, or melon baller, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry to create a cavity for the filling while keeping the bottom intact to hold the mixture securely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference and ensure it’s thick enough to hold its shape when piped or spooned into the strawberries.
  3. Stuff the Strawberries: Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture. Fill them until the filling is nicely mounded on top without overflowing.
  4. Add Toppings and Chill: Sprinkle your chosen toppings such as crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts over the stuffed strawberries, or drizzle with melted chocolate if desired. Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set, making them easier to handle and tastier to eat.

Notes

  • Use firm, ripe strawberries to prevent sogginess and ensure a juicy bite.
  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature beforehand for the smoothest filling without lumps.
  • For a neater presentation, use a piping bag instead of spooning the filling.
  • Chill the stuffed strawberries before serving to help them set and enhance flavors.
  • Fill strawberries close to serving time for the freshest texture and taste.
