Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Strawberries

  • Firm, ripe strawberries, enough for serving (approx. 20-24 berries)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream or whipping cream

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, pistachios)
  • Chocolate drizzle (melted chocolate)
  • Crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries gently and pat them dry. Using a small knife or a strawberry huller, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry—making sure to leave enough of the outer shell intact to hold the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined. Whip the heavy cream separately until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture for a light, fluffy texture.
  3. Stuff the Strawberries: Using a piping bag or a teaspoon, carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture, ensuring the filling is nicely heaped but doesn’t overflow.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your favorite toppings on top—whether it’s crushed graham crackers, nuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate—to add extra texture and flavor.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Place the stuffed strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Fresh Strawberries Matter: Pick firm and ripe berries to ensure they don’t collapse when hollowed and filled.
  • Don’t Overfill: Leaving a little space at the top helps avoid messy overflow when serving.
  • Use a Piping Bag: It makes filling the strawberries cleaner and faster, giving them a professional look.
  • Chill Well: A chilled dessert tastes fresher and will hold together better when eaten.
  • Prep Ahead: You can hollow and fill strawberries a few hours before serving to save time.
