Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Covered Strawberries ~ Indulge your Valentine with this updated classic.
Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Covered Strawberries
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.
Genius!
I’m honestly not sure if I’ve ever had even a chocolate covered strawberry! I bet my hubs would love your twist on them.
Absolutely stunning and brilliant. I cant imagine a more decadent or delicious treat… just awesome Naomi!!! I am just blown away by your creativity and genius!!!!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE these!! All of my favorite things combined…yum. 🙂
What a fantastic idea!
IF this is not genius, what is??!!
Those look unbelievably amazing. I have to try these!
Just LOVE these! Cheesecake is a favorite…
What a great idea for using up leftover cheesecake!
So simple yet I bet it is so delicious!
These look incredibly delicious.
I want one of these RIGHT NOW. Beautiful, Naomi!
Just awesome. And soooo simple! Great idea and thanks for sharing.

Brilliant idea! You are my hero! Wish I had one right now!
If these have been around a long time they are sure new to me! love this idea. Think I need to try something like this soon, so simple too!
These look heavenly. And so very elegant! I want them NOW.
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? =)
Strawberries?? Strawberries is good. So good 😉 It could makes any desert better
These are absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day – err – any day! Thanks for the recipe. Can’t wait to make them. 🙂
Whoa – these look absolutely amazing!! I’ll definitely be giving them a try – I have some Sarris melting chocolate sitting on the counter … perfect!
Love this idea! I just gotta figure out where leftover cheesecake comes from! I tend to eat it all!
Those look scrumptious! What a wonderful little treat. It definitely eases the guilt of other super rich desserts (if restraint is not an issue)
YUMMM!! Great way to use up some leftovers!
Hi Naomi!!
Gorgeous and delicious – everything that dessert should be!! A friend of mine just emailed me a link to this post – I laughed when I opened it – she knows me all too well!!
OMW YUMMY!! The monkeys and I stuffed ours with cannoli filling this weekend to go with the french toast 😉
Strawberries and chocolate!!! What a brilliant match!
Here is another interesting combination I recently found.
Genius! Left over cheesecake is definitely rare around here, though. 😛
Never going to find a leftover slice of cheesecake in our house, but if I ever have any, I’m making these!
Mmm love this simple, light, creative, and beautiful dessert. Love the piped filling.
When I saw there I was like, Naomi has done it again. How inventive. I love this idea.
Cheesecake INSIDE the strawberry? Annnnnd dipped in chocolate? Wahhhaattt?!?? It’s like Strawberries on crack.
We’re featuring this recipe on our weekly “Thirsty Thursday” segment on the afternoon talk show, Watercooler on http://www.thepulsenetwork.com at 12 EST or anytime on-demand!
What a fun twist! I could eat like dozens of those. I mean they are fruit, right?
These are absolutely amazing. Love them!
YUM.
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!)
The best of three worlds in one! What a genius idea!
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!
