Description
Juicy strawberries filled with creamy, tangy cheesecake and topped with festive blue sprinkles or blueberries. This no-bake dessert is quick, easy, and perfect for summer parties or holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (large, firm berries)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
- Blue sprinkles or fresh blueberries (for topping)
- Graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries under cold water and pat dry. Hull each berry and scoop out a small cavity in the center.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and Greek yogurt or sour cream (if using) until smooth and fluffy.
- Transfer cheesecake filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped.
- Pipe filling into each strawberry cavity until just overflowing.
- Top each stuffed strawberry with blue sprinkles or a fresh blueberry. Add graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- Arrange strawberries on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (up to 2 hours).
- Serve cold. Strawberries can sit at room temperature for about an hour during parties.
Notes
Use ripe but firm strawberries for best results. Chill the filling if it gets runny before piping. Prep berries and filling ahead for easy assembly. For gluten-free, skip graham cracker crumbs or use gluten-free ones. Blueberries make a healthy topping alternative to sprinkles.
