Ingredients
- 24 fresh strawberries
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Using a small knife or a strawberry huller, carefully remove the stems and hollow out the center of each strawberry to create space for the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Stuff the Strawberries: Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or a plastic sandwich bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling evenly into the hollowed centers of the strawberries, filling them generously but without overflowing.
- Chill Before Serving: Arrange the stuffed strawberries on a plate or tray and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the filling to set and enhances the flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve the cheesecake-stuffed strawberries fresh. They make a refreshing, bite-sized dessert perfect for any occasion.
Notes
- Choose firm, ripe strawberries for best results to hold the filling well.
- For added flavor, you can mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest into the cream cheese filling.
- These are best served the same day but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- For a fun twist, dip the stuffed strawberries in melted chocolate after filling and allow it to set.
