Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Covered Strawberries ~ Indulge your Valentine with this updated classic.
Chocolate covered strawberries are definitely on my top ten Valentine’s dessert list. They are easy to make, always elegant and always delicious. This time around I wanted to add a simple twist to this classic.
And I had some, okay, a lot of cheesecake left over from a gathering, so I decided to try this with it. What a hit! My friends loved them and it’s now our favorite way to enjoy chocolate covered strawberries.
The cheesecake was a little thick for piping so I added some cream cheese to it and gave it a few whippings in the KitchenAid and it came out perfect for piping consistency.
A few notes:
- There’s no recipe. This is just a simple modern update to a classic dessert. And hey, a damn good and fun way to use up any left over cheesecake!
- Strawberries can be cored and dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate the night before and stuffed the day of.
- If you love strawberries as much as I do, you might also like these stuffed strawberry ideas: Strawberry Margarita Jello Shooters , Strawberry Fruit Cups, 4th of July Crème-Filled Strawberries.

Naomi – what a great idea for left over cheesecake. I’ve made cheesecake stuffed strawberries before but never with dipped strawberries. Chocolate makes everything better right? =)

I bet in a rush one could even buy a store made cheesecake and mix it up to make it better for piping… no one would ever have to know!!!! (coming from the girl who can’t bake!)

These look so incredibly good! Definitely an interesting spin on regular chocolate covered strawberries (which are one of my favorite special treats). Thanks for sharing!
