Stuffed Strawberries Filled with Cheesecake

If you have a hard time choosing between chocolate covered strawberries and no-bake cheesecake, this recipe combines the best of both! Fresh, juicy berries are filled with a sweet and tangy cream cheese filling, then topped with graham cracker crumbs for a quick no-bake dessert. You can even dip them in chocolate for an extra-indulgent twist.

They’re perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, Valentine’s Day, or any party where you want an impressive dessert with almost no effort.

Why I Love These Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

• Easy: While strawberry cream pie is always a hit in summer, when in a time crunch, this easy no bake strawberry dessert only needs 6 ingredients and 10 minutes!
• Crowd-pleasing: Just like mini cheesecakes with graham cracker crust, stuffed strawberries disappear first whether it’s Mother’s Day brunch or a 4th of July party. Customizable: Swap graham cracker crumbs for crushed Oreos, add a blueberry on top for a patriotic look, or mix lemon zest into the filling for a citrus twist.

Ingredients Notes

• Strawberries: Look for bright red, plump strawberries that don’t have any blemishes or bruises.
• Cream cheese: I recommend using full fat brick style cream cheese softened to room temperature. Low fat or a tub of cream cheese will be too watery.
• Powdered sugar: Confectioners’ sugar adds sweetness and stability to the cheesecake filling.
• Vanilla: Balances the sweet flavors of the berries and filling.
• Heavy cream: Whole cream, whipping cream or heavy cream adds a lighter texture to the filling while also still making it rich and flavorful.
• Graham cracker crumbs: Sprinkling the tops of the cheesecake strawberries with graham cracker crumbs adds a similar flavor of a graham cracker crust.

How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Rinse strawberries and pat dry. Remove stems, then core each strawberry using a Wilton 1A tip, strawberry huller or small paring knife. Just twist and pull to remove the center. For a pretty presentation, slice a thin piece off the bottom tip so each strawberry stands upright on a platter.

In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix until creamy and combined but be careful not to overmix.

Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.

Pipe the cheesecake filling into the cored strawberries, then dip the tops into crushed graham crackers for a finishing touch.

Tips for the Best Stuffed Strawberries

• Avoid a runny filling by using full-fat cream cheese and ensuring your cream cheese is softened but not too soft! Also, don’t overmix the filling.
• Pat strawberries completely dry after rinsing. Any moisture will cause the filling to slide off.
• Add the graham cracker crumbs right before serving so they stay crunchy.
• Make chocolate dipped strawberries stuffed with cheesecake! Simply dip bottom of berries in melted dark chocolate or white chocolate then set before filling.
• Sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese filling or use crushed golden Oreos for a nice swap.
