These cheesecake stuffed strawberries couldn’t be easier! I’ve seen so many versions out there. Some of which make you cut off the top and bottom of the strawberry and scoop out the centers. Why would you give yourself more work to do and waste yummy fruit like that?! Not me! Nuh-uh!
Simply cut off the stem so you have a flat end, cut an “X” in the tip, and pipe the filling inside. It opens up as you fill it. Don’t go wasting that fruit!
To make these patriotic, instead of sprinkling the tops with crushed graham crackers, we’re topping these with a fresh, plump blueberry. Voila! Red, white, and blue cheesecake stuffed strawberries! These are a great healthier alternative for your 4th of July dessert and are guaranteed to get gobbled up!
The naturally sweet fruit paired with the cool, creamy, and lightly sweet cheesecake filling is the bomb! I dare you to only eat one of these, it’s impossible, quite frankly! You will need at least 2, or 3 …
Depending on how ripe your berries are, you can prep these ahead of time too. My strawberries were still quite firm, so they lasted a couple days in the refrigerator without leaking juices all over the place and dissolving the cheesecake centers. You should really make these though… they are pretty darn tasty!

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Ingredients
- 24 large fresh strawberries, 1.5 to 2 lbs of strawberries, depends on how much you fill them
- 8 oz (226 g) block-style cream cheese, room temperature or softened slightly
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (70 g) fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Cut the stems from the strawberries, so the strawberries can sit cut-side down.
- Cut a deep “X” from the tip down, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with a hand mixer until nice and fluffy.
- Gently open up each strawberry and pipe the filling inside using a pastry bag or zip-top bag with a star piping tip. Don’t have a pastry bag or piping tip? Just cut off the corner of a zip-top bag and squeeze the cheesecake filling inside the strawberries that way.
- Top each filled strawberry with a blueberry. These are best served after the strawberries have been chilled for at least an hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days depending on how firm/soft the strawberries are.

Notes
- Filled strawberries are best when made and eaten the same day.

would love to take to a potluck, but they will be sitting out for 2 hrs. is that feesable. plz respond
Will it be an indoor or outdoor event? I would try and put your tray on some ice if it’s outdoors, just to be safe.
Its a indoor event. But while i was reading ur msg. Saw a person said, hers was a little soggy when made a day before, So i should have it a little firmer so it wont bled.?
Found the Ingredients when googled it… Was missing on Pinterest but got it now👍🏼🎂
Always click over from Pinterest to the blog hosting the recipe. Pinterest’s rich pins, don’t always function properly. Thanks!
Glad you figured it out though! 😉
Doesn’t say how much vanilla extract or powered sugar to use🤔⁉️
Wow these are so delicious and adorable my family gobbled them all up in one night! Thanks for the great recipe I’ll be making these for a party very soon but I’ll have to make like five pounds! 😊
Haha! So glad you liked them Betsy! They really do get eaten fast! Hope everyone enjoys them at your party too! Thanks for your comment!
Yum! I must try these! Question, should I chill the strawberries with the filling inside, or chill just the strawberries for an hour? Thanks!
Hi Anel! I usually fill them and then chill them. Enjoy!
These are really nice. I made them the night before the event and the next time I will make them just before because when I took a peek at them the next morning I had juice all over the bottom of the tray. So day of is suggested.
Oh man! I’m sorry! Your berries must have been fairly ripe and soft. If they are more firm than ripe, they would have been fine to prep the day before, but yes, making them the day of is definitely preferred. Glad they were still tasty though!
These were a big hit on the 4th – thanks, Amber! Next time I’ll chill the filling before I put it in the strawberries – but that is the only thing I would change. They’re pretty and taste great!
They are better chilled. I’ll add that to the recipe. Thanks for your input!
These were so good! The only thing I would change is the amount of strawberries. I used a 1 lb container of strawberries and had half my cream cheese left over (so I filled a banana with the rest and straight up ate the rest after that). Maybe 2 lb of strawberries would be better? I guess it also depends on how much you stuff the strawberries with 🙂
I guess I did fill mine pretty full. Glad you liked them!
Aaw yay, it’s getting so close. so excited for you and your family! Love these adorable strawberries. Stuffing them with cheesecake is such a delicious idea! The look so cute and festive!
Thanks Kelly! So close! I can’t wait!
Great job, they look fantastic!
They are way easy too! Thanks!
