chocolate-covered strawberries—cheesecake lovers will go crazy for these cheesecake-stuffed strawberries. Only a handful of ingredients come together in this recipe to create the cutest bite-sized treats: hollowed-out strawberries are filled with a sweet and simple cream cheese filling before being garnished with crushed graham crackers. Ready in 20 minutes, this no-bake dessert is the perfect way to surprise your sweetheart with a homemade treat that couldn’t be easier to make. Here’s everything you need to know:
How to hollow out the strawberries:
To hollow your strawberries for the filling, simply cut off the very bottom for a flat base, then the top of your strawberry before carving out the middle. Watch our video above for a step-by-step visual guide! Tip: Don’t cut off too much off the bottom—you don’t want to risk your filling seeping out.
Make the cheesecake filling:
This cheesecake filling only required 3 ingredients: cream cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. It’s a perfect sweet, creamy component to these strawberries, but can also be a base to add to and experiment with. Tip: Want to add some extra sweetness to your cheesecake filling? Add some vanilla extract to your cream cheese mixture.
Once made, add the cheesecake filling to a piping bag and pipe into your hollowed-out strawberries. It’s as simple as that!
How to decorate your strawberries:
We love the graham cracker topping here, but you can really decorate these bites however you please. Chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or even plain would be delicious.
Make them in advance:
If you’d like to make these treats ahead of time, simply prepare as usual (minus the graham cracker topping), and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Once ready to serve, garnish with your topping and dig in!
Storage:
These treats are best the day they’re served, but if you have any leftovers, they’ll last for around 2 days in the fridge.
