Ingredients
Scale
- 20 large fresh strawberries
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries and pat dry. Slice off green tops to create a flat base and hollow out the center with a small spoon, being careful not to pierce the sides. Set aside on paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly mash blueberries with a fork, then fold them and lemon zest (if using) into the cream cheese mixture. Add milk or heavy cream if the filling is too thick and mix until combined.
- Fill each hollowed strawberry with the blueberry cheesecake filling using a piping bag or small spoon, smoothing the surface.
- Place stuffed strawberries on a plate or tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and filling firm up.
- Remove from fridge about 10 minutes before serving. Arrange on a platter and enjoy.
Notes
Use firm strawberries to avoid breaking or watery filling. Soften cream cheese to avoid lumps. Lightly mash blueberries to keep texture and create a swirl effect. Chill for at least 1 hour for best flavor and filling firmness. Prepare filling and hull strawberries a day ahead but stuff just before serving to keep berries firm. For vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese and sweeteners like maple syrup.
