These cheesecake stuffed strawberries couldn’t be easier! I’ve seen so many versions out there. Some of which make you cut off the top and bottom of the strawberry and scoop out the centers. Why would you give yourself more work to do and waste yummy fruit like that?! Not me! Nuh-uh!

Depending on how ripe your berries are, you can prep these ahead of time too. My strawberries were still quite firm, so they lasted a couple days in the refrigerator without leaking juices all over the place and dissolving the cheesecake centers. You should really make these though… they are pretty darn tasty!

Ingredients

  • 24 + large fresh strawberries, 1.5 to 2 lbs of strawberries, depends on how much you fill them
  • 8 oz (226 g) block cream cheese, room temperature or softened slightly
  • ½ cup (56 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Cut the stems from the strawberries, so the strawberries can sit cut-side down.
  • Cut a deep “X” from the tip down, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with a hand mixer until nice and fluffy.
  • Gently open up each strawberry and pipe the filling inside using a pastry bag or zip-top bag with a star piping tip. Don’t have a pastry bag or piping tip? Just cut off the corner of a zip-top bag and squeeze the cheesecake filling inside the strawberries that way.
  • Top each filled strawberry with a blueberry. These are best served after the strawberries have been chilled for at least an hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days depending on how firm/soft the strawberries are.

Notes

  • Filled strawberries are best when made and eaten the same day.
