Summertime in the Midwest is full of some of my favorite traditions! Lake time, ice cream, watermelon, lighting bugs, and fresh strawberries. I love to make simple recipes with fresh ingredients to add to the Midwest summer memories. These are always a huge hit and disappear quickly.
Cheesecake Filled Strawberries are a perfect mix of a fresh, juicy summer strawberry with a sweet and creamy cheesecake filling. Don’t skimp on the graham cracker crumb topping, too.

How to Make Cheesecake Filled Strawberries?
This strawberry recipe is incredibly easy to make and people love them! No baking required and they come together quickly. A perfect snack for an afternoon at home or a party by the pool.
Start by cutting the green tops off each strawberry then use a spoon to scoop out the inside/white part of the strawberry.
Next, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth
Crush the graham crackers into crumbs in a small bowl and set aside.
Using a pastry bag or Ziplock with the tip cut off, spoon the cream cheese mixture in and then fill each strawberry up.
Sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs over each strawberry and set out to serve!
What is the best way to fill the strawberries?
I have pastry bags on hand and I always like to find a reason to use them and feel like a fancy chef. I also have a bunch of disposable pastry bags that I actually use way more. I just fill them and cut off the tip, then toss when done.
No pastry bag? No biggie. Grab a Ziplock bag, fill it up with the cream cheese mixture and cut off the top. Fill the strawberries, done.
Cheesecake Filled Strawberries are a simple dessert that make such a big impression because they taste incredible! You gotta add these to your summer treat list. Check out the easy recipe and tutorial video below then let me know what you think!
