Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries combine two favorites, fresh juicy berries are filled with an easy no-bake cheesecake for the perfect 2-bite dessert!
The Perfect 2-Bite Dessert
Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are so delicious and so easy to make!
This recipe makes a very simple no-bake cheesecake but you can fill them with anything from Chocolate Cheesecake to Banana Split Stuffed Strawberries!
Buy the biggest strawberries you can find so you can pack in lots of cheesecake… but if you can’t find really big ones, these are easy to make with any size of berry!
How To Prepare Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Strawberries should be rinsed and patted dry. I use a tomato/strawberry huller to scoop out the middle of the berries but a small spoon will work too!
The cheesecake filling can be piped using a freezer bag or a decorating tool.
I used a tiny cookie cutter to cut out little hearts to garnish but if you don’t have one, even using a straw to cut out a circle (like I did on my chocolate cheesecake stuffed strawberries) creates an adorable garnish!
The bottom is dipped in white chocolate and graham crumbs.
Before you dip the bottoms in white chocolate, make sure you dab the bottoms of the strawberries dry on a paper towel. This helps the chocolate stick and keeps moisture from getting into the chocolate! If you have extra cheesecake filling left over, just pipe it onto a graham cracker or vanilla wafer cookie and store it in the fridge!
Note: You do not have to add the white chocolate to the bottom of the strawberries… they will stand up just fine without it.

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Ingredients
- 1 pint strawberries or more as needed*
- 2 ounces white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs
Cheesecake Filling
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Wash strawberries and dry well.
- Cut the tops off the strawberries and hollow out the center using a small spoon or a strawberry huller (this is the type I use, works for tomatoes and strawberries)
- Place the chocolate in a small dish and melt on 50% power for about 15 seconds.. continue in 10 second increments until the chocolate is melted
- Slice a thin piece of the bottom of each strawberry so it can stand up and pat it dry with a paper towel. Dip the bottom of each strawberry into chocolate and then graham crumbs and place on a parchment lined pan.
- Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, lemon juice and lemon rind if using until smooth and creamy.
- Place the cream cheese mixture in a decorator or into a zippered bag. If using a zippered bag, snip off a corner.
- Pipe the cream cheese mixture into each strawberry. Garnish with sprinkles or graham crumbs.

Banana Split Stuffed Strawberries
Chocolate Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries (No Bake!!)
great idea…as for the graham cracker, i used it for a sprinkle on top of the final product…
thought it would be better then mixed with white choco at the bottom…..
Great tip! Thank you!
Hi Holly, what a scrumptious dessert. These are definitely going on my ‘to make’ list. Thanks for sharing. Pinned!
Thank you for Pinning Joan!!
This is so cute and adorable. Perfect for Valentine’s day dessert <3
How adorable are these?! I know exactly what I would look like while preparing these — “One for you, two for me!” I better buy extra strawberries! This is a perfect dessert!
LOL! I totally agree with the “One for you, two for me”… if I decide to share at all! ;)
I think this would be the perfect sweet treat for our couple’s wedding shower this summer. I love that they are more fruit than sweet and they look adorable too!
Aww, thank you! They’d definitely be perfect for a wedding shower!!
I love this idea and how easy it is to make! I would add a little mascarpone too – it makes cheesecake extra creamy!
Oh yummy! What a great addition that would be! Thanks for the idea!
These look amazing! Stuffed strawberry are so delicious, and I love the cute little heart shape on top.Great Idea!
Aww, thank you! Just a simple little thing but I think it makes them so cute!
These are beyond adorable and you have surgeon’s hands to get those little teeny tiny heart cut-outs on top of the berries so perfectly! Beautiful!
Thank you Averie! :) Definitely had some help with mini cookie cutters for those little hearts!
hi, don’t like to use cool whip can i use whipped cream in stead?
I think that would work great!
We made tonight Joe loves them we used a sharp knife to hollow them out also stand them up as soon as you dip them in chocolate and have extra strawberries a lot of filling leftover
l have been making these for years for summer parties, l have never used coolwhip,, l just blend the cream cheese with icing sugar..and just keep tasting till it tastes like cheesecake. When done if you want one, you better eat it before going out on the table, cause you blink and there all gone..lol. But l must say l am gonna try this one too. and l like the idea of dipping in some chocolate for a better base.
I just wish I know How much of the sugar etc etc to put in other then that I am just goes to guess and make it
3 tablespoons. All of the amounts are listed in the recipe. :)
These look yummy, going to try and make them a bit more diabetic friendly… and I was thinking if you pop a blueberry on top that woudl be great for 4th of July as well!!
Has anyone ever tried making them the night before? I was wondering if the berries would hold up alright.
Thanks!
I think it would be best done the day of serving. The filling can definitely be made the night before and refrigerated.
Thanks – Can’t wait to try them!
Can u make it without the lemon I’m allergic to it and was curious
You sure can! The lemon just adds a bit of flavor.
Try putting a teaspoon of vanilla in the mixture. It makes it taste even richer.
hi, nice recipe but I was wondering about the cool whip, do I mix the coolwhip according to its directions then fold it in or am I just adding the bare contents of the package in the cream cheese,i really want to trythis plz.
I’ve only seen Cool Whip come frozen in a tub. If your Cool Whip is a package, I would mix it first and then fold it in! Enjoy!
We make these all the time for bridal showers and special occasions, so yummy! Thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop. :)
