Description
High-Protein Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are a fresh, no-bake treat that combines juicy berries with a creamy, protein-packed cheesecake filling. They’re light, naturally sweet, and perfect for a quick snack, healthy dessert, or party platter addition.
Ingredients
- 18–24 large fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (thick, full-fat or 2%)
- 1/4 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers (for topping)
Instructions
- Slice the tops off the strawberries so they can stand upright. Carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry using a small spoon or melon baller, creating space for the filling without piercing the sides.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
- Add the protein powder, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined and fluffy.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
- Pipe the filling into each hollowed strawberry.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the tops.
- Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving for best texture, or serve immediately if desired.
Notes
- For best texture, use thick Greek yogurt and fully softened (not melted) cream cheese.
- Add graham cracker topping just before serving to maintain crunch.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Do not freeze, as strawberries may release excess moisture when thawed.
- A powdered sugar substitute can be used for a lower-sugar option.
