Cheesecake strawberries
This easy recipe for Chocolate Dipped Cheesecake Filled Strawberries is by far the most visited recipe on Zestuous. To celebrate its success, I’ve updated this post to include a chocolate cheesecake version for the real chocolate lovers out there.
These are the perfect party treat for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, bridal showers or baby showers. They’re dipped in rich dark chocolate and filled with a quick, no-bake, delicious cheesecake filling.
Over the years, people have revised this recipe and made it their own. I love that! Some like to add brandy or amaretto to the filling. If you make the chocolate cheesecake version, I recommend Kahlua or Baileys.
I add a delicate almond slice on top for a bit of crunch. Others like to add a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or blueberries for a festive 4th of July treat. You can even add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra flair.
However you adapt the recipe, I promise these Chocolate Dipped Cheesecake Filled Strawberries are sure to be a real crowd-pleaser. Enjoy!

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
With juicy strawberries dipped in melted chocolate and filled with a velvety cream cheese filling, this fun dessert is easy to make and delicious.
Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes minutes
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 pint strawberries
- 1/2 bag chocolate chips
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 tbls powdered sugar
- 1 tbls milk
- sliced almonds, optional
Instructions
Slice: Wash the strawberries. Then, slice off the bottom of the strawberry so that it can stand up straight. Next, pluck the green stem off. Scoop out the top using a small paring knife or strawberry huller to make room for the cheesecake.
Dry: This is the most important step…dry off the strawberries individually with paper towels. If the strawberries are wet, the chocolate will not stick.
Melt: Melt the chocolate in a double broiler or microwave. (Note: if using a microwave, only melt it in 20-second increments to make sure it doesn’t burn). I use Ghirardelli 60 percent Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips.
Dip: Line a cookie sheet (that will fit in your freezer) with waxed paper or a Silpat. Dip the bottom half of each strawberry into the melted chocolate and place on the lined pan. Once the pan is full, place it in the freezer for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Beat: While the chocolate is cooling, make the cheesecake filling. In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk, until smooth. If it seems too thick, add a splash more milk.
Pipe: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag with a star tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, scoop it into a large Ziploc bag and snip off the corner. Remove the strawberries from the freezer and pipe in the cheesecake filling.
Top: Top with a slivered almond and serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.
