What You’ll Need for Frozen Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Complete Ingredients List

  • Fresh strawberries – 1 pound (about 450 grams)
  • Cream cheese – 8 oz (226 grams), softened
  • Powdered sugar – 1/2 cup (60 grams)
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
  • Graham cracker crumbs – 1/4 cup (30 grams), plus extra for topping

Ingredient Substitutions & Alternatives

  • For a dairy-free option, use vegan cream cheese.
  • Replace powdered sugar with a sugar alternative for a low-sugar version.
  • Add lemon zest for a citrusy twist in the cheesecake filling.

How to Make Frozen Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully slice the tops off each strawberry and then cut them in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out a little of the flesh from each half, creating a small cavity for the cheesecake filling. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Make sure there are no lumps.

Step 3: Fill the Strawberries

Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each strawberry half with the cheesecake mixture. Be generous but avoid overfilling to prevent spillage.

Step 4: Add Graham Cracker Crumbs

Once all the strawberries are filled, sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.

Step 5: Freeze the Strawberries

Place the filled strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 2 hours or until they are firm.

Step 6: Serve

Once frozen, remove the strawberries from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving. This will make them easier to bite into. Enjoy these delightful treats as a refreshing dessert or snack!
