This no bake dessert recipe has all of the flavors of strawberry cheesecake! Includes instructions for traditional Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries and Deviled Strawberries!
1/4cupgraham crackers, crushed, or shortbread cookies
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine whipped cream cheese, cheesecake-flavored pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer or hand mixer until smooth and well combined.
Traditional: Using a small knife, cut a small portion off the top (stem side) of each strawberry to create a flat surface. Deviled: Remove the stem, then halve down the middle of each strawberry lengthwise.
Hollow out the center of each strawberry, creating a hole for the cheesecake filling. I recommend using a small melon baller, paring knife or small spoon.
Spoon or pipe the pudding-infused whipped cream cheese mixture into the strawberries, ensuring they are filled over the top. If using a piping bag, I recommend using the star tip for pretty, defined swirls!
Sprinkle the top of each filled strawberry with graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
Arrange the stuffed strawberries on a serving platter (or deviled egg plate) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have a piping bag, don't fret! You can spoon the filling in to the hollowed out strawberries, or you can make your own piping bag! To make your own piping bag, just scoop the cheesecake filling into a Ziploc bag and squeeze it all down into one of the corners. Snip that corner of the bag off with scissors, then squeeze the filling out of the hole into the strawberries.
