What You’ll Need to Make Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

You only need 5 main ingredients — most of which you probably already have.

For the strawberries:

• 1 pound (454 g) fresh strawberries – about 24 large ones

For the chocolate dip:

• 3/4 cup (136 g) dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, makes the chocolate smoother for dipping)

And For the cheesecake filling:

• 8 ounces (226 g) cream cheese, room temperature
  (Spreadable cream cheese works too — see notes)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (96 g) powdered sweetener (confectioners sugar or a keto-friendly version)

Tip: Adjust the sweetness to your liking. I always start with a little less and taste as I go.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

This recipe is quick, fun, and totally kid-friendly. Perfect for little helpers or last-minute party prep.

1. Prep the strawberries

• Rinse strawberries gently and dry them very well with a clean towel.
• Cut off the green tops.
• Hollow out the centers using a melon baller, paring knife, or small spoon.
• If you’d like them to stand upright, slice a small bit off the bottom tip.

Moisture is the enemy of chocolate here — dry them really well or the chocolate won’t stick!

2. Melt the chocolate

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.
• Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until melted.
• Stop when it’s mostly melted and stir to finish with the residual heat.

If the chocolate thickens while dipping, warm it again for 10 seconds and stir.

3. Dip the strawberries

• Hold each strawberry by the top.
• Dip the bottom half into the melted chocolate.
• Let the extra drip off, then place on a parchment-lined tray.

Let them set at room temp or chill briefly in the fridge.

4. Make the cheesecake filling

• In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla.
• Whip or stir until smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

5. Stuff the strawberries

• Fill a piping bag or sandwich bag with the cream cheese mixture.
• Snip the tip and carefully pipe filling into each strawberry.

Or just use a spoon if you’re keeping it simple!

6. Serve or chill

You can serve them immediately or store in the fridge for later. They’re best within 24 hours for peak freshness.

Yes! Use powdered monk fruit or erythritol, and sugar-free chocolate chips.
