Variations
- Melted Chocolate. Drizzle your favorite melted chocolate on top. This is so easy but adds a special touch. You can also just sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
- Red white and blue. Make these for 4th of July and top with festive sprinkles or a single blueberry.
We love to add one blueberry right on top for Memorial Day or July 4th. It is so light and the perfect hint of sweetness.
- Whipped Cream. Top each berry with a dollop of whipped topping. You can use heavy cream to easily make this at home.
- Chocolate Covered Strawberries. You can make this treat even more decadent by using chocolate dipped strawberries. Either milk chocolate or white chocolate would be delicious.
- Drizzle. Try using food coloring to dye white chocolate any color you choose. Then drizzle on top to match your party theme. This will be perfect for any theme.
- Topping. Instead of crushed graham crackers, try using crushed cookies. Some tasty ideas include: golden oreo cookies, shortbread cookies, vanilla wafers and even chocolate chip cookies.
- Caramel. If you like caramel cheesecake, drizzle a little Homemade Caramel Sauce Recipe on top of each berry. You can even combine this with chocolate as well.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the strawberries. Make sure the berries are clean. Then cut the tops off. Core each one using a paring knife.
Step 2. Make the filling in a mixing bowl. Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. You can use a stand mixer or hand held mixer.
Step 3. Put the mixture into a piping bag. Fill the strawberries as you pipe the mixture into each one
Step 4. Top the strawberries with graham crackers. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each strawberry. This step should be done right before serving so it does not get soggy.
Storage
You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days. The juicer the strawberry is, the messier this will be.
If they are very ripe and juices flow, it might make the berries lose shape in the fridge. Just keep this in mind when storing.
FAQs
If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag. Just fill the bag, seal and cut the corner off. This will work in a pinch, but you won’t have the pretty design from a star tip.
You can remove the core with a paring knife. Depending on the size of the strawberries, you can also use a melon baller.
Do not remove too much of the delicious fruit. Just hollow out enough to fill with the cheesecake. Try not to waste the fruit.
These are best served the day that they are made. I don’t recommend making these ahead of time. The strawberry cheesecake will get soggy in the berries.
Some of this depends on how juicy and ripe the fruit is. The juicer the berry, the harder to make in advance.
However, you can make the cheesecake filling a day in advance and refrigerate. When ready to serve, stuff the berries.
I don’t suggest hollowing the strawberries in advance unless you plan to freeze them.
You can freeze these, but it is best to do so immediately after making them. This will prevent the berry juice from running and making the filling watery.
Make sure to freeze inside a good freezer container. They will keep up to 4 weeks.
I suggest waiting to add the crushed graham crackers until ready to serve. Otherwise the graham crackers will get soggy.
No, this recipe can only be made using fresh berries. Frozen strawberries will not hold its shape.
