Tips to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to the filling.
If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off to fill the strawberries.

Variation

For a fun twist, try adding some lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for a refreshing citrus flavor. You can also drizzle some melted chocolate over the filled strawberries for extra sweetness.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?
Fresh strawberries work best for this recipe as they are firmer and have a better flavor. Frozen strawberries can become mushy and may not hold their shape.

2. How can I make the filling sweeter?
You can add more powdered sugar to suit your taste. Start with small amounts and adjust as needed.

3. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the strawberries and fill them a few hours in advance. Just remember to store them in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
