A simple, festive, and nostalgic summer dessert featuring fresh strawberries stuffed with creamy cheesecake filling and topped with fresh blueberries and raspberries for a patriotic red, white, and blue treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 medium-sized fresh strawberries, large, firm, and ripe
  • 8 ounces (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) fresh raspberries
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare strawberries: Gently rinse strawberries under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Use a paring knife to carefully hull each strawberry from the stem end, creating a small cavity for the filling without piercing through the bottom.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Place softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until fully combined and fluffy. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to loosen slightly.
  3. Fill the strawberries: Using a small spoon or piping bag, gently fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture. Leave a little room so the berries can hold their shape and the topping will sit nicely.
  4. Top with berries: Place a fresh blueberry or raspberry on top of each filled strawberry. Alternate berry types or arrange by color for a neat red-white-blue pattern.
  5. Chill and serve: Arrange stuffed strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the filling set and flavors meld together.

Notes

Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before starting to ensure smooth whipping. Hollow strawberries carefully to avoid leakage. Chill stuffed strawberries for at least 30 minutes before serving to help filling set. Prepare up to 24 hours ahead but add berry topping just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; avoid freezing.
