Make these simple, attractive no-bake cheesecake stuffed strawberries for a perfect summer dessert or party appetizer. The creamy filling holds its shape well.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, large
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Carefully slice off the top stem end of each strawberry. Use a small spoon or melon baller to gently hollow out the center of each strawberry, creating a cavity for the filling. Set the hollowed strawberries aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until the filling is light, creamy, and well combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  5. Pipe the cheesecake filling into the hollowed-out centers of the strawberries until they are full and slightly mounded on top.
  6. If using, gently press the tops of the filled strawberries into the graham cracker crumbs to coat the filling lightly.
  7. Chill the cheesecake stuffed strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to firm up slightly.

Notes

  • For best results, prepare the strawberries and filling no more than 4 hours before serving.
  • If you do not have a piping bag, you can use two small spoons to carefully scoop the filling into the strawberries.
  • For a chocolate dipped cheesecake strawberry variation, dip the filled tops lightly into melted semi-sweet chocolate and let them set on parchment paper before chilling.
  • Use firm, ripe strawberries for the best presentation and structure.
