Delightfully simple yet bursting with elegance, Cream Cheese Filled Strawberries are the perfect no-bake treat for any occasion. This quick 15-minute recipe transforms juicy, ripe strawberries into delectable bite-sized desserts, thanks to a luscious filling of creamy, vanilla-scented cream cheese sweetened with powdered sugar. Hollowed out and piped full of silky goodness, each strawberry becomes a perfectly portioned indulgence. For added flair, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs lends a touch of crunch and a hint of cheesecake-like flavor. Perfect as a crowd-pleasing dessert or a refreshing party appetizer, these stuffed strawberries deliver maximum flavor with minimal effortβno baking required! Best served chilled, theyβre an irresistible combination of fresh and creamy that will leave everyone reaching for seconds.
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a small paring knife, slice off the green leafy tops of each strawberry to create a flat base so they can stand upright.
Carefully hollow out the inside of each strawberry using the tip of the knife or a small melon baller. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix the cream cheese mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off.
Pipe the cream cheese filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, filling them generously.
Sprinkle the tops of the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs for extra texture and flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
