How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Okay, so let’s just get straight to it. I know you’re not here for my life story about a strawberry farm. Making strawberries cream cheese stuffed goodies isn’t rocket science (truly, I’d personally have failed at both). You only need a handful of ingredients, and the steps are dead simple.
You start with fresh, ripe strawberries. Look for the ones that feel heavy and have no weird mushy spots. Next, grab some cream cheese (room temp is your buddy here), a dash of powdered sugar, and—my not-so-secret move—a smidge of vanilla. Slice the tops off your strawberries and hollow them out with a teensy knife or, honestly, a clean pinky if that’s your vibe. Then, whip your cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy.
Now the fun. Fill each strawberry with the cream cheese goodness. A zipper bag with the tip snipped works if you don’t have a piping bag. Little tip, press lightly so you don’t bust the berry walls (I learned this from my nephew who got…enthusiastic). Top with crushed graham crackers for a cheesecake crunch. And voilà, you’re basically Martha Stewart without the stress.
My cousin once brought these to Thanksgiving. They vanished faster than Aunt Lynn’s creamy scalloped potatoes—wait, speaking of potatoes, if you need comfort food, try creamy and delicious scalloped potatoes for a totally different, warm hug on a plate.
“These strawberries cream cheese snacks are the only way my kids eat fruit, and even my picky husband asked for seconds! Major win.” — actual testimonial from my friend Jamie
Storage Info for Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Here’s the not-so-glam part—storing them. Honestly, these strawberries cream cheese treats are best on the same day (they get juicier and softer over time, which is sometimes good, sometimes kinda sad). If you need to stash them, use an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. They last a solid day, maybe two if your fridge is cold and nobody knows where to look.
I once hid a batch at the back of the fridge and totally forgot them for three days. By then, well, let’s just say they lost that Instagram vibe. Don’t recommend.
But hey, if you like making things ahead—and who doesn’t during party season—just mix the filling and assemble the berries a few hours before serving. Keeps things perky and fresh, just like grandma’s best stories.
Nutrition Facts
Alright, I’m not a dietician or anything, but here’s the scoop. Each strawberries cream cheese treat is lighter than a traditional slice of cheesecake. Win! You’re looking at not much more than 35-45 calories a berry, a couple grams of sugar, some protein from the cheese. Heck, you even get vitamin C from the berries. If you wanna feel like you’re being good while snacking, this is your moment.
Swap in light cream cheese if you’re watching calories. Or don’t. Life’s short, eat dessert.
