When stored in an airtight container, Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries typically last up to 3 days. However, the exact storage time depends on the freshness and firmness of the strawberries used.

Can I use frozen strawberries for Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries?

Instructions

Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry.
Remove the stems from each strawberry so they can stand upright.
Cut a deep X into the pointed end of each strawberry, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
Gently open the cuts in each strawberry and pipe the cheesecake filling into the center.
Top each filled strawberry with one fresh blueberry.
Arrange on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy.

Softened cream cheese creates a smoother filling.
For a lower-sugar version, use a sugar-free powdered sweetener.
Best served the same day they are prepared.
