How To Make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
I think this is one of the easiest and most delicious no bake cheesecake stuffed strawberries I have ever tried. Here is everything you have to do:
Prepare The Strawberries
Start by washing the strawberries and removing the green leaves.
To prepare the strawberries for the cheesecake filling, you will need to wash them well and remove the leaves of each berry.
Then cut the strawberries into four sections, up to 5 mm basic, taking care not to cut them at all.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling
Add the cream cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract to a large bowl, and using an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.
Fill The Strawberries
Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag, and fill the strawberries.
If you don’t have a pastry bag, don’t worry! You can still easily fill the strawberries with the cheesecake mixture by using a plastic ziploc bag. Simply spoon the filling into the bag, seal it tightly, and snip off one corner with scissors to create a makeshift piping bag. This works just as well as a pastry bag and allows you to control the flow of filling more easily.
If you want to add some extra flavor and texture to your stuffed strawberries, try sprinkling them with mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, or crushed nuts.
Store them in the fridge until you are ready to eat them.
How To Serve
For an elegant touch, you can serve them in individual mini dessert cups or shot glasses, or arrange them on a cake stand to create a stunning centerpiece. You can also add fresh mint leaves or edible flowers as a garnish to enhance their appearance and aroma.
- On top of the strawberries, you can pour some melted chocolate. This is a simple but elegant touch.
- You can top them with some fresh blueberries.
- Dip your strawberries in melted chocolate for a richer and more indulgent experience.
- You can also make some homemade caramel and drizzle strawberries with it.
- Consider adding some lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. This adds a refreshing taste and a burst of citrus flavor that complements the sweetness of the strawberries.
Tips For Making The Best Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
