Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are the perfect no-bake treat! Juicy strawberries stuffed with delicious cheesecake filling are the ultimate indulgence. Dip them in Chocolate to take them to a whole new level.

My love for cheesecake happened long before The Cheesecake Factory was even a thing. I remember my mom making classic cheesecake with strawberry topping for Sunday night dessert and it was always a favorite. We take the tangy, creamy filling of cheesecake and pair it with bright, juicy strawberries!

The concept for these no-bake Cheesecake Strawberries is super simple. There was one particular episode of Paula Dean on The Food Network where she was stuffing strawberries with cheesecake and I thought it was an incredible idea. Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries make a beautiful treat for showers, weddings, or anytime you want an easy and delicious no bake treat. You can take it up a notch and dip the bottoms in melted chocolate if you wish (not shown here). All of your favorite cheesecake parts inside of a sweet, fresh strawberry- yum!

How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Here is a brief overview of how these sweet treats come together. For the full recipe including all measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

1. Prepare the strawberries. Wash the strawberries and set them on a paper towel to dry. Cut off the green leaves and scoop out the center of the strawberries using a melon baller or small paring knife.
2. Make the cheesecake filling. Whisk the heavy cream until peaks form. Add in the cream cheese and whisk again for a few seconds to combine, then add in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Pipe the filling into the strawberries. Put the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag and pipe the cheesecake mixture into the strawberries so it fills the hole and a small mound forms on top. 
4. Top with graham cracker crumbs. Crush the crackers by placing them in a bag and using a rolling pin. Sprinkle on top of the cheesecake stuffed strawberries before serving. Enjoy!

Choosing Strawberries

You’ll start with large, juicy, fresh strawberries. Choosing the right strawberries is crucial for making the most delicious Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. Here are some tips to ensure you pick the perfect berries:

• Look for strawberries that are medium to large in size. They should be big enough to hold a decent amount of cheesecake filling.
• Select strawberries that are bright red in color and firm to the touch. Avoid overly soft or mushy berries, as they may not hold up well when filled with cheesecake.
• Aim for strawberries with a consistent, symmetrical shape. This makes it easier to hollow out a well for the cheesecake filling.
• Be sure to wash the strawberries thoroughly to remove any dirt and debris before eating them.
• I like to slice the bottoms off of the strawberries so that they stand up better.

Cheesecake Filling

Cheesecake filling is a delicious part of cheesecake, but also in other desserts like cookies and in fresh strawberries! The simple yet decadent cheesecake filling is made with heavy cream, cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and a little vanilla extract.

You can make this recipe low-carb/keto by substituting the confectioners’ sugar with something like Swerve Confectioners. It’s a zero-calorie sweetener and my personal favorite.

Tips and Tricks

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. I also recommend using name brand cream cheese such as Philadelphia.
• Freeze your metal bowl and whisk for 30 minutes before whipping the heavy cream to get the nice stiff peaks.
• If you don’t have a piping bag, just use a ziplock/plastic bag, spoon the filling into the bag, then cut the tip and squeeze the filling into each strawberry. It works just as well!

Dipping in Chocolate

If you want to take these cheesecake stuffed strawberries up a notch, dip the bottoms in chocolate! You can use white, dark, or milk chocolate. Melt your chocolate on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring often so it doesn’t burn. Dip each stuffed strawberry (I just do the bottoms) in the mixture. Set on wax paper to set.

Making Ahead of Time

Feel free to make these ahead of time, but wait to sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs until right before serving so that they don’t get soft and mushy. Another option is to prepare your strawberries and make the filling the day before, but not actually stuff them until the day you plan to serve them. Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Store any leftover strawberries stuffed with cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
