Smooth and creamy cheesecake stuffed inside a juicy, ripe strawberry? Yes please! These decadent little cheesecake stuffed strawberries are so easy to whip together and really make a statement on the dessert table.
Slice off the stems of the strawberries so that they are able to sit flat with the “stem” side facing down.
On the opposite end of the strawberry, cut an X from the tip through part of the base, but do not slice all the way through or your strawberries will fall apart. Repeat with the remaining strawberries and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
Fill a pastry bag or ziploc bag with the end cut off and pipe the cream cheese filling into each sliced strawberry.
Top each strawberry with a fresh blueberry and chill in the refrigerator for one hour or until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
The blueberries make this dessert patriotic themed with its red, white, and blue attire - but you can certainly omit them and garnish them however you'd like.Other Variations:
Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs
Add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts as garnish or fold them into the cream cheese mixture
Lightly drizzle with a sweet strawberry sauce
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
