CHEESECAKE STUFFED STRAWBERRIES
I always have mixed emotions on Mother’s Day. It’s a beautiful day to celebrate and recognize all that moms do.
I’m so grateful to be a mother but always feel like there’s room for improvement on my part. My own mother is amazing and I can only hope to be half the mom she is.
But then I’m also very sensitive to those who are future moms or want to be moms and can’t. Then I think of those, like my nephew, who have moms in heaven watching over them. I’m torn the whole day.
My husband always spoils me on Mother’s Day. The best part is that he always cooks dinner. Steaks, crab cakes, Scalloped Potatoes, and these cheesecake stuffed strawberries!
HOLLOW OUT THE STRAWBERRIES
To hollow out the strawberries use a small pairing knife. This makes a hole for the filling to go into.
CHEESECAKE FILLING
The cheesecake filling is very simple. The ingredients are cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
HOW TO MAKE CHEESECAKE STUFFED STRAWBERRIES
-
Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.
-
Once strawberries are filled, sprinkle or dip the tops with graham cracker crumbs.

Notes
slightly adapted from The Sweet's Life
Hi. I see in the recipe you said these can be refrigerated til serving. Can I make them 24 hours ahead? then sprinkle on the crumbs? Thanks. I’ve made these before, but never this far ahead.
Donna, how did these turn out? I am in the same situation.
Yes that should be fine.
I made the filling as the recipe said filling was a little soft it ran out of the strawberries should I have refrigerated the filling for awhile before putting into the strawberries?
Shoot yes it sounds like your ingredients were too warm.
This is incredible added a little almond extract to it also and instead of graham cracker sliced almonds.
Yum!
These pastries are an amazing desert!
Thank you!
I would like to make these a day ahead of time. How do you think they will hold up in the refridgerator?
Thanks,
Cassandra
they will last for up to 24 hours. then they get mushy!!
They would be fine a day ahead.
They did not hold up for 24 hours for me- I made them the night before around midnight and served them at 5pm and they were really soggy, not good.
Can you make me some I’ll pay you and ship them to me
Instead of whipping the cream cheese and powdered sugar, do you think I could use whipped cream cheese and fold in some powdered sugar?
Yes of course!
I never make a cheesecake before. I tried this for the first time and it turned out really good. I added some ingredients to this cake.

Can you freeze left over ? Cheesecake filling or refrigerated?
You could freeze leftover filling and it stays in the fridge for up to two weeks.
I’m sure the 5th star will be added as soon as I make this simple delicious looking stuff strawberries..
Umm…. Yes please! My cheesecake obsession can finally be cured/satisfied/grown!
I made these for my wife on Mothers Day but added a twist. I took the stuffed strawberries and dipped the bottoms in semi sweet dark chocolate. Definitely a hit…
Ooh that sounds delightful!
I was thinking the same thing
yummy dish i am loving it……
Thanks!
I just had an idea. Chocolate cheesecake stuffed, chocolate coated strawberries
My first thought was to dip the strawberries in chocolate sprinkles rather than buy a whole box of graham crackers.
Guess I’ll have to try my hand at these, though I think they’ll happen to fall into a little melted chocolate before being served. Always seems to be some chocolate causing a happy mishap around my place…
Me too! How are we so clumsy? 🙂
