Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

CREAM CHEESE: For a dairy-free cream cheese option, try cashew cream cheese. You can substitute it one to one.

POWDERED SUGAR: If you don’t have any powdered sugar, you can make your own.

Mix one cup of granulated sugar (or, for a sugar-free option, use Splenda) with one 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.

LEMON ZEST: Add some freshly grated lemon zest to the cheesecake mixture for a zesty, citrusy twist.

CINNAMON OR NUTMEG: A pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg in the filling can infuse warm, cozy flavors.

How To Make This Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Recipe

We will walk you through preparing the strawberries so that they stand up properly and the filling doesn’t spill out.

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 six points by cutting three-quarters of the way through the bottom of the strawberry (the narrower end).

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. 

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.

Storage

Whether you’re planning to make these ahead or have leftovers to preserve, here’s what you need to know: 

MAKE AHEAD: After stuffing the strawberries with the luscious cheesecake filling, arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze them until they’re firm.

Once frozen, transfer them into an airtight container with layers separated by parchment paper.

To serve, simply allow them to thaw in the fridge for about two hours or at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. They’ll taste just as delightful as when freshly made.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftovers of these creamy cheesecake strawberries in the refrigerator in a sealed food storage container for one to two days.

However, the creamy cheesecake filling may not keep its consistency and may run a bit.

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze these little cheesecake strawberries, 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.
