Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 24 large fresh strawberries
- 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ 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 1:1.
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!
TOPPING: While these sweet strawberries are perfect on their own, a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips or a few crushed graham crackers would add something extra to these little gems.
How To Make This Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Recipe
STEP ONE: Wash and dry your strawberries with a paper towel. Cut the leaf side of the strawberries flat so they sit properly on a plate.
STEP TWO: Cut each strawberry into 6 points by cutting ¾ of the way through the bottom of the strawberry (the narrower end).
PRO TIP:
Do NOT cut strawberries all the way down.
STEP THREE: In a mixing bowl with a hand mixer on high speed, beat the softened 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 filling. After it’s full, cut the corner and you’re all set to fill your strawberries with the creamy filling.
STEP SIX: Serve immediately. The longer these sit, the more the cheesecake mixture 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.
How To Serve
This easy dessert would be a delightful treat to make for Valentine’s day to share with your loved ones. These are also a delicious treat to serve at bridal showers or a summer party along with our southern strawberry sweet tea when juicy strawberries are at their best.
