Ingredients
- Main Ingredients
- 1½ lbs large fresh strawberries

- ½ cup powdered sugar adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup heavy cream or whipped topping
- Pantry Staples & Optional Toppings
- Pinch of salt
- Graham cracker crumbs optional
- Melted chocolate or white chocolate optional
Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries
- Wash strawberries and dry thoroughly.
- Remove stems and hollow out centers using a paring knife or strawberry huller.
- Slice a small piece off the bottom of each strawberry so they stand upright.
- Pat dry again to remove excess moisture.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Beat until creamy and lump-free.
- Slowly mix in heavy cream or whipped topping until light and fluffy.
- Fill the Strawberries
- Transfer filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut.
- Pipe filling neatly into each strawberry.
- Chill & Finish
- Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs or drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
- Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Strawberries must be completely dry to prevent the filling from sliding out.
- Chill longer if the filling feels too soft after piping.
- Best assembled close to serving time for the freshest texture.
