ingredients for Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
You will need:
- 24 large strawberries
- 8 ounce block of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Substitutions and additions
Cream Cheese: For a dairy-free cream cheese option, try cashew cream cheese. You can substitute it one for one.
Powdered Sugar: If you don’t have any powdered sugar, you can make your own! Mix 1 cup of granulated sugar (or for a sugar free option, use Splenda) with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and blend in a high-speed blender until the texture is similar to powdered sugar. You’ll need a powerful blender for this though!
How To Make This Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberry Recipe
STEP ONE: Wash and dry your strawberries. Cut leaf side of strawberries flat so they sit properly on a plate.
STEP TWO: Cut each strawberry into 6 points by cutting 3/4 of the way through the strawberries. Do NOT cut strawberries all the way down.
STEP THREE: In a mixing bowl on high speed, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth.
STEP FOUR: Mix in your powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
STEP FIVE: Grab an icing bag and a star tip and begin filling each strawberry with the cream cheese mixture.
PRO TIP: You can use a Ziploc bag if you don’t have a piping bag. Fold the bag over a cup and fill your new piping bag with the cream cheese mixture. After it’s full, cut the corner and you’re all set to fill your strawberries.
STEP SIX: Serve immediately! The longer these sit, the more the filling will absorb the moisture from the berries and get runny and the filling will start to leak out.
PRO TIP: For a little extra flavor and some decoration, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs onto the top of your dessert!
storage
IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed food storage container for 1 to 2 days. However, the filling may not keep its consistency and may run a bit.
IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze these but they won’t thaw very well. However, they will make a great frozen treat to grab directly from the freezer! Place them carefully in an airtight container within an hour or two of making them.
You’re going to melt over these cheesecake stuffed strawberries! They satisfy your sweet craving while remaining light and fresh. You’ll want to make these easy crowd-pleasers for parties, game-nights or even just family dinner!
