I’ve been making chocolate covered strawberries forever… and for the last few years we’ve been enjoying Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries… so it was only a matter of time before the two came together! I have to tell you the results were amazing!
Seriously amazing! These ended up being our anniversary dessert this year but I sense that I will be bringing them to LOTS of upcoming gatherings with no leftovers!
Not only are they decadent and easy, the best part is that they are NO bake… perfect for summer time!

Chocolate Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries (No Bake!!)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup whipped topping such as Cool Whip
- 3 tablespoons chocolate melts or chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons chocolate cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Wash strawberries and dry well.
- Cut the tops off the strawberries and hollow them out using a small spoon or a strawberry huller (this is the type I use, works for tomatoes and strawberries).
- Place the 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips in a small dish and melt on 50% power for about 20 seconds.. continue in 15-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 into the cookie crumbs. Place on a parchment lined the pan.
- Dip the bottom of the strawberries in chocolate before filling with chocolate cheesecake!
Chocolate Cheesecake Filling
- Place the ¾ cup chocolate chips in a small dish and melt on 50% power for about 35 seconds.. continue in 20-second increments until the chocolate is melted. Cool.
- With the mixer on medium, combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla, cocoa powder and sugar until fluffy. Add in cooled chocolate and mix on low until incorporated. Add in whipped topping and stir/mix just until combined.
- Place chocolate cheesecake filling in a ziploc bag or a decorating dispenser like the one I’ve used above. Pipe into the strawberries (there will be lots of filling, don’t be afraid to overfill!).
- Top with an additional piece of strawberry (I cut circles with a straw) and serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours.

i,m going to try out the strawberries…it looks very very tasteful please send me your rescepis ok …thank you very much steve……..
The recipe is posted above. :) Enjoy!
I love strawberry! Thank you for this sweet and great recipe. I will be on a holiday soon and the I will try this out at my home. So thanks
These look perfect for my party on Monday!
Two quick questions! When you cool the second batch of
Chocolate chips, is it until it is just cool to the touch or hard. Also do they survive in the fridge over night?
This looks yummy. I happen to have Philadelphia’s chocolate cream cheese so I know what I’m going to do with it now. :)
This is the real thing. I never really liked the strawberry plunched in hot chocolate (as I don’t like hot chocolate) but knew strawberry and chocolate was a good match. Now I prepared this and it’s decadently delicious! Thanks for the recipe. I needed to adapt some things for my foodintollerances, so I used coconutcreme instead of butter, and coconutnectar instead of sugar, but it’s still awesome! Would you allow me to translate my version into French and Dutch?
Hi Dani! I’m so glad you enjoyed these (we love them too!). Please feel free to send me a message regarding translation of the recipe!
Print button still isn’t working properly. Pictures don’t print and text is stretched out over several pages. Please help!

These look wonderful. This would be a great recipe to bring to a summer get together or BBQ. Checking you out from full plate thursday! Dipping the bottoms of the strawberries in chocolate is a great idea to stabilize them so they sit upright! Thanks for the tip.

Ohh…wow! Chocolate, cheesecake and strawberries in the same bite…sounds amazing!
3 of my favorite foods. Yummy!
I just realized the recipe calls for a pint of strawberries, and maybe that is more than 2lbs. Sorry, I am an Australian living in the US and even after many years, measurements still confuse me.
A pint is about 2 cups or 500 ml. :)
A pint of strawberries weighs, on average, 12 ounces. 500 ml or 16 oz is for liquids.
I remember my great aunt always saying, a pints a pound the world around because a pint weighs 16 ounces and so does one pound. ;-)
That’s a cute saying Denise!
I just finished making them. I used 2lb of strawberries and I still have filling left over. I took note of what you said and really packed the filling in. No problem though, I just told my husband he will be having cheesecake filling as an ice cream topper.
They are delicious, fiddly to make but worth the effort. I used a small Halloween pumpkin carving tool to hollow out the strawberries.
These look great, and what a great little dessert idea for parties!!! Love it!
I can’t wait to try this today. I just have one request. When using the “Print” feature is it possible to have it set so it just prints the recipe and the method without spaces for the pictures or with the pictures. I would like it to print on one page not spaced out over many.
Other than that, keep up the great recipes, I have tried many of them. You even have us eating fish at least once a week because of your tilapia recipe.
So glad you are enjoying the recipes! :) Thank you for letting me know. I am looking into the printing issue and hopefully can get it fixed!
Usually when I print things like this, I save the whole thing to my computer first. Then I go into where I saved it, usually microsoft office, then I can delete the photos, make them smaller or whatever I want to do. Now that I am “older” I make the print a little larger….
Anyway, this is a good way for me to print these kinds of things.
Hope it helps
Just tried it here and it does NOT work. Usually does tho. Sorry
