Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

I first made this recipe for stuffed strawberries about 10 years ago. I planted a small strawberry patch just off the deck and that first summer, it really didn't do much. The following year? It went crazy!

I would pick and fill my large colander with huge beautiful berries almost every day.

We had so many strawberries I couldn't give them away fast enough.

Strawberry Dessert Tray

I like making these treats for any occasion. Stuffed strawberries make quite an entrance when brought to a party, brunch, or backyard picnic!

You can serve these fancy berries as is, drizzled with chocolate or try adding a blueberry on top for a patriotic dessert.  Serve these alongside delicious Snow Cone Cupcake for a fresh fruit option.

It is so festive and really looks fabulous when placed on the dessert table at your cookout!  

So grab those freshly picked strawberries and stuff them! Add a blueberry, drizzle with chocolate or enjoy plain, they are delicious no matter what!

Wash fresh strawberries and dry well with a paper towel.

Cut an ‘X’ in the pointed end of strawberry, careful not to cut all the way through.

Stuffed strawberries make a great gift too! This is a super idea for
