Ingredients

Strawberries

  • Fresh strawberries (firm and ripe) – about 20 medium-sized

Cheesecake Filling

  • Cream cheese – 8 oz, softened
  • Powdered sugar – 1/4 to 1/3 cup (adjust to taste)
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Lemon juice (optional) – 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: Wash strawberries thoroughly and pat dry. Using a small knife or a strawberry huller, carefully remove the stem and hollow out the center to create a cavity for the cheesecake filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. For a refreshing twist, stir in lemon juice thoroughly.
  3. Fill the strawberries: Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each strawberry cavity with the cheesecake mixture. Fill generously without overstuffing to maintain berry integrity.
  4. Chill before serving: Arrange the filled strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling and allow flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Choose small to medium firm strawberries for best results as they hold filling better without collapsing.
  • Use room temperature softened cream cheese for easy whipping and smooth texture.
  • Powdered sugar dissolves faster, keeping the cheesecake filling silky.
  • Use a piping bag for neat, uniform filling presentation.
  • Serve refrigerated for optimal texture and freshness.
