Description

Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Strawberries are a festive, bite-sized dessert perfect for patriotic celebrations or any occasion. Fresh strawberries are hollowed out and filled with a smooth, creamy mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then topped with blueberries for a beautiful and delicious red, white, and blue presentation. Garnished optionally with graham cracker crumbs or white chocolate drizzle, these no-bake treats are easy to prepare and sure to impress guests.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 20 large berries)
  • 20 fresh blueberries

Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnish

  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse strawberries and pat them completely dry. Remove the green tops and carefully hollow out the center of each berry using a paring knife or small melon baller, creating a cavity for the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and well combined.
  3. Fill the Strawberries: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, filling each cavity evenly and generously.
  4. Add Blueberry Toppings: Place one fresh blueberry on top of the cream cheese filling on each strawberry to create the blue portion of the design.
  5. Optional Garnishes: For added flavor and decoration, sprinkle the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs or drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Use softened cream cheese to achieve a smooth filling consistency.
  • Use a piping bag or a small spoon for easy and neat filling of the strawberries.
  • These can be prepared several hours ahead but should be served fresh for best texture.
  • For a sweeter variation, drizzle with white chocolate or add a touch of lemon zest to the filling.
