How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Recipe Tips
- Strawberries – Make sure to choose strawberries that are fresh and have a bright red color. Since this is the main ingredient you want to choose the best strawberries that you can find.
- Combining Cream Cheese Filling – Mix ingredients until combined. Make sure to not overmix so the mixture remains fluffy.
- Piping Bag – We find it easiest to fill the strawberries by filling the cream cheese filling in a piping bag or pastry bag. But you can also place the filling in a ziploc bag and cut off the corner to add the filling.
FAQ
To prepare the strawberries so you can fill with the cheesecake filling, you will need to hollow out the strawberries. To do so take a paring knife and in a circular motion remove the center of the strawberry.
Yes, you can make up to 24 hours ahead of time but we recommend making them the same day that you are serving them. For best results, make the cheesecake filling and then when ready to serve pipe the filling into the fresh strawberries for the best treats.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator. The strawberries may get mushy and dull while stored in the fridge.
