Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries (Print Version)

Juicy strawberries filled with creamy cheesecake and topped with graham cracker crumbs for a quick, no-bake delight.

# What You'll Need:

→ Strawberries

01 - 24 large fresh strawberries

→ Cheesecake Filling

02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Topping

05 - 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs

# How to Make It:

01 - Rinse strawberries and pat dry. Using a small paring knife, hull each strawberry and gently scoop out additional flesh to create a cavity for filling.
02 - In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
03 - Transfer cheesecake filling to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off and pipe mixture generously into each hulled strawberry.
04 - Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the filled strawberries.
05 - Arrange stuffed strawberries on a serving platter and chill for 10 minutes before serving, if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They come together in 20 minutes and feel impressive enough for unexpected guests.
  • No baking required, so your kitchen stays cool and you avoid heating up the house.
  • Everyone assumes they're fancier than they actually are, which is the best kind of kitchen secret.
02 -
  • Scooping out the strawberry cavity is easier if you use a small melon baller or the narrower end of a vegetable peeler instead of wrestling with a knife.
  • Room-temperature cream cheese is non-negotiable, because cold cream cheese will never achieve that light, fluffy texture no matter how long you beat it.
  • These start weeping juice if they sit longer than a few hours, so make them the day you're serving them.
03 -
  • If you don't have a piping bag, a small spoon works perfectly fine, though it takes a bit longer and looks a little rustier than the piped version.
  • Making these for a crowd becomes easy if you beat and chill the filling the night before, then just hull the berries and assemble everything the next day.
