Description
Juicy strawberries filled with whipped cheesecake cream make this no-bake dessert perfect for brunches, holidays, or anytime sweet bites.
Ingredients
20 large ripe strawberries
6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar (plus more to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 Tbsp heavy cream or whipped topping
Optional Garnish: crushed graham crackers, chocolate shavings, finely chopped nuts, lemon zest, mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Prep Strawberries: Rinse and pat strawberries dry. Slice off stems so berries stand upright. Use a small knife or melon baller to hollow out centers.
Make Filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 Tbsp heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Add more cream, 1 tsp at a time, for a pipeable consistency.
Pipe: Transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip. Pipe generous swirls into each hollow strawberry.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or desired toppings. Serve chilled.
Notes
Citrus Twist: Fold in 1 tsp lemon zest for brightness.
Chocolate Version: Beat 1 Tbsp cocoa powder into the filling; top with mini chocolate chips.
Caramel Drizzle: Finish with warmed caramel or honey for extra sweetness.
Chocolate-Dipped: Dip strawberry bases in melted dark chocolate, chill to set, then pipe filling.
