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.

These were amazing!! I changed a couple things.. I substituted cheesecake pudding mix with 2% milk and hulled them out with melon baller….filled and topped with blueberry then dusted the bottom with graham cracker dust.!!! Lol not so healthy version i guess haha..
Thank you for the idea!!! They were a hit!!!
Glad you could make them your own!
These look super super good! Newbie question….can I use a stand mixer instead of a hand mixer?
Yes! Absolutely! Use the paddle attachment to help get the lumps out.
Kids and husband loved this dessert!!
Glad to hear it!
Amber, what a beautiful presentation. This makes for a lovely little treat. I agree with you, eating only one is impossible.
Thanks Kim! They really are delicious!
Love the strawberry dessert. Healthy, tasty, perfect.❤
I just made them for the first time. After I cut them I dipped them in melted dark chocolate then filled them.
Yum! Great idea!
First time using a pipping bag…I guess better results will come with practice. Mine don’t look as nice as your pics but they taste great. I will chill the filling first next time. I’m taking them to work so a put 12 snuggly in each of 2 Gladware storage containers and will finish them off with the blue berries when plating. The berry on top will make them look better.
Yes, piping is definitely a different type of skill to master, but I’m glad you approve of the taste!
These are fabulous
So glad you liked them!
Sent these with my husband to work and everyone loved them! I added shaved chocolate ❤️
Yum! Great thinking with the shaved chocolate!
These were awesome!!!! I made them for my family last night and the plate was scraped clean!!! Lol!! I only wonder the calorie content for each filled berry. (or approx) I know I couldn’t stop at one and just want to knkw the damages! 😬
Hi Maren,
If you used full fat cream cheese, and made 24 strawberries, then they are about 48 calories each.
