These cheesecake stuffed strawberries are the perfect 5-minute dessert! They require just 6 ingredients and are ready to enjoy immediately after assembling. Recipe includes a how-to video!
Twist the strawberry stems to remove, then core the strawberries. To do this I use a Wilton 1A tip, insert it directly over the center of the stem, and insert it into the berry, but you can use a paring knife to carve a core. Twist the tip and pull directly out to remove the core. Set aside.
2 lb strawberries
Combine whipped cream, about half (⅓ cup/42g) of the sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to whip together until you achieve stiff peaks (mixture should have a thickened, fluffy consistency).
⅔ cup powdered sugar, ¾ cup heavy cream, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, stir together cream cheese and remaining (⅓ cup/42g) powdered sugar until smooth.
8 oz cream cheese
Add whipped cream to cream cheese mixture and use a spatula to gently fold together until completely combined. Don’t over-mix or you’ll deflate your whipped cream.
Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling into cored strawberries, mounding the filling generously on top of the berry (I like to use a Wilton 2D tip).
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs lightly over cheesecake filling.
2 Tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. Filling will thicken slightly as it sits.
