Description

Delight in these luscious Chocolate Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries, a no-bake dessert combining fresh strawberries with a creamy chocolate cheesecake filling. Perfect as a light, elegant treat for parties or quick indulgence, these stuffed strawberries offer a decadent chocolate flavor balanced by the freshness of fruit, enhanced by optional crunchy garnishes and melty chocolate drizzle.


Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and hulled

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Chocolate and Garnish

  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/4 cup crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers (optional for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Cut a small slice off the bottom of each strawberry so they can stand upright on a serving plate. Carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry using a small knife or a melon baller, creating space for the filling.
  2. Make the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  3. Fill the Strawberries: Spoon the chocolate cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off. Gently pipe the filling into each hollowed strawberry until full.
  4. Decorate: Drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the stuffed strawberries for a chocolatey finish. Optionally, sprinkle crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers on top for added texture and flavor.
  5. Chill: Place the stuffed strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of espresso powder to the filling mixture before beating.
  • For a fancier presentation, dip the bottoms of the strawberries in melted chocolate and chill until set before filling.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
  • This dessert is perfect for parties, Valentine’s Day, or a quick sweet snack.
