Making Cheesecake Filled Strawberries

This is one of those great desserts that only requires a few ingredients and is very easy to make. This is also no-bake cheesecake so you don't have to fire up your oven on a hot day or wait for the cheesecake to cook and cool.

When you are picking strawberries for this dish try to select larger strawberries as they are a little easier to work with. The recipe instructions call for a piping bag to get the cheesecake into the strawberries but if you don't have one you can use a plastic bag and cut the corner off to get the same effect. You can also just spoon the mixture into the strawberries, it just won't quite as neat looking as if you use a piping bag, but they will still taste just as great!

I'm normally a big fan of using a stand mixer for anything that requires mixing but for this recipe I prefer a hand-held mixer. It makes it easier to control the mixing when you are incorporating the cream cheese. Be sure to use a large, deep bowl so you don't end up with the mixture splattering everywhere!

If you want to get a bit fancy you can leave the strawberries whole. Just core out the center and add the filling. It takes a bit more effort to do this as coring out the center is slower work but it can also make a fun way to to serve the strawberries.

Make Ahead Tips

If you are making this for a party you can make the cheesecake filling up to a day in advance, however I'd recommend not filling the strawberries until the day of the party. They tend to get a little soggy when sitting in the refrigerator so won't look quite as nice. That said, if you are just eating them yourself they will keep for two to three days in the refrigerator but will just be a bit "ripe" around the edges.

things you might want for this recipe

Handheld Electric Mixer - I like having a handheld mixer in addition to a stand mixer. As I mentioned, it works best for this recipe and is a good alternative in some other cases too. They are pretty inexpensive now and last for years - I've had mine for 10+.

Piping Bag - This is definitely not a kitchen necessity unless you bake a lot. However it's kind of fun to have one around for the occasional "fancy" dessert. The different types of tips that come with this one give you plenty of room for creativity!
