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.

No-bake cheesecake strawberries
If you are a fan of strawberry cheesecake, then you will really like the flavor pairings of this creamy sweet cheesecake filling. Pairing soft cream cheese, a bit of powdered sugar, vanilla extract (try our homemade version!), and almond extract creates healthy stuffed strawberries that taste like a cheesecake!

My stuffed strawberries recipe has been shared more times than I can think of.
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!
