Description

Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Strawberries are a festive and refreshing no-bake dessert perfect for summer parties and patriotic celebrations. Fresh strawberries are hollowed out and filled with a creamy, sweetened cheesecake mixture, then topped with crunchy graham cracker crumbs and juicy blueberries to create a colorful and delicious treat that’s as visually appealing as it is tasty.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Hollow the Strawberries: Using a sharp knife, carefully hollow out the center of each hulled strawberry to create a small well for filling, being careful not to puncture the bottom.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  3. Fill the Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each strawberry’s hollowed center, slightly overfilling to create a pleasing mound.
  4. Add Graham Cracker Crust and Blueberry Topping: Dip the filled tops of the strawberries into graham cracker crumbs to add a crunchy, crust-like texture. Gently press a fresh blueberry onto the top of each filled strawberry to complete the red, white, and blue look.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • This dessert is a festive choice for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or any summer party.
  • For enhanced flavor, mix in a teaspoon of lemon zest into the cheesecake filling before piping.
  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best shape and ease of hollowing.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, use a small spoon to fill the strawberries carefully.
