My Strawberry Cheesecake Bites recipe is just what you need! Not only are these little gems visually appealing, but they’re also incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re hosting a summer party, a special brunch, or just treating yourself, these cheesecake bites are sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 25 large strawberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 sheet graham cracker
Directions:
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash the strawberries and slice off the stems. Remove the top of each strawberry and carefully hollow out the inside using a paring knife or a small spoon. This creates a little cup for the filling. Also, slice a tiny bit from the bottom of each strawberry to create a stable base.
- Place the prepared strawberries on a paper towel to drain any excess juice.
- Mix the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, mix these ingredients until the texture is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a large zip bag or a piping bag fitted with your choice of a decorative tip. Cut a small hole at the corner of the zip bag if using.
- Fill and Garnish:
- Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry. Be generous and make sure each strawberry is filled nicely.
- Garnish the top of the filled strawberries with mini chocolate chips and small pieces of crushed graham cracker for that extra crunch. Optionally, add a dollop of cool whip for a creamy finish.

Ingredients
25 large strawberries
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1 sheet graham cracker
Instructions
Wash and slice the stems from 25 large strawberries or 35 medium strawberries. Pull the top off of the strawberry. Using a paring knife or a small spoon, clean out the hull of the strawberry. Slice a tiny bit of strawberry off the bottom so that you have a stable base.
Set the strawberries on a paper towel to drain out any extra juices. Set aside.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a large zip bag and cut a small hole on the corner, or use a piping bag. You can use a cute piping tip to make the strawberry filling a little fancier.
Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the hole of each strawberry and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, serving dish, or plate.
Garnish each strawberry with mini chocolate chips and small pieces of graham cracker or even a little glob of cool whip.
