Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are a delightful, bite-sized dessert with fresh strawberries filled with creamy cheesecake filling and topped with crushed graham crackers.

Ingredients

1 pound large strawberries, hulled

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Chocolate shavings or drizzle (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut a small cone-shaped piece off the top of each strawberry to create a hollow space for the cheesecake filling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and heavy whipping cream. Continue mixing until everything is well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with one corner snipped off for easier filling. Carefully pipe the cheesecake mixture into each hollowed strawberry, filling them generously.
  4. Once all strawberries are filled, sprinkle the tops with crushed graham crackers to mimic the cheesecake crust flavor. For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the filled strawberries or sprinkle chocolate shavings on top.
  5. Arrange the stuffed strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure they are chilled and the filling sets.

Notes

For a unique twist, try adding a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Use gluten-free graham crackers if making the recipe gluten-free.

For a vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese and non-dairy whipped cream.

These are best served fresh within 2 days, as the strawberries can release moisture over time.
