Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Try these easy red, white, and blue Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries for a healthier patriotic dessert! 

In case you didn’t know, I will be taking most of June off to spend time with my new baby boy who should be here anytime in the next 2 weeks!!! No worries though! I will have some amazing food blogger friends posting recipes on my blog while I’m away! But, since I’m going to miss sharing new recipes with you for one of my favorite holidays, I’ve decided to share another patriotic recipe to help you all gear up for the 4th of July. After all, it’s never too early to plan fun holiday themed food to serve your family and friends! 

These cheesecake stuffed strawberries couldn’t be easier! I’ve seen so many versions out there. Some of which make you cut off the top and bottom of the strawberry and scoop out the centers. Why would you give yourself more work to do and waste yummy fruit like that?! Not me! Nuh-uh! 

Simply cut off the stem so you have a flat end, cut an “X” in the tip, and pipe the filling inside. It opens up as you fill it. Don’t go wasting that fruit! The naturally sweet fruit paired with the cool, creamy, and lightly sweet cheesecake filling is the bomb! I dare you to only eat one of these, it’s impossible, quite frankly! You will need at least 2, or 3 … 

Depending on how ripe your berries are, you can prep these ahead of time too. My strawberries were still quite firm, so they lasted a couple days in the refrigerator without leaking juices all over the place and dissolving the cheesecake centers. You should really make these though… they are pretty darn tasty!
