Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Fresh strawberries

• Cream cheese, softened

• Powdered sugar-free sweetener

• Vanilla extract

• Heavy whipping cream

• Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sugar-free chocolate shavings, or unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions

1. Wash and dry the strawberries. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise and slightly trim the bottom so they can sit flat.

2. Use a small spoon or melon baller to gently scoop out a bit of the center of each strawberry half to create space for the filling.

3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar-free sweetener and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

5. Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the mixture into the hollowed center of each strawberry half.

6. Top with crushed nuts, chocolate shavings, or other optional garnishes if desired.

7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, they can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.

What sweetener works best for this recipe?

A powdered sugar-free sweetener, such as powdered erythritol or a stevia blend, works best for a smooth filling.

Can I use a spoon instead of a piping bag?

Yes, while a piping bag gives a neater look, you can also spoon the filling into the strawberries.

How do I prevent the strawberries from getting soggy?

Make sure the strawberries are fully dried after washing and do not overfill with moist filling.

Can I make this with frozen strawberries?

Fresh strawberries are best. Frozen strawberries tend to become too soft when thawed.

Is there a dairy-free version?

Yes, use dairy-free cream cheese and replace the heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.

Can I add other flavors to the filling?

Yes, extracts like almond or coconut, or even a pinch of cinnamon, can add a unique twist.

How do I know if the cream is whipped properly?

The cream should form stiff peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.

What if I don’t have a melon baller?

A small teaspoon or the tip of a paring knife works well to hollow out the strawberries.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, simply double all the ingredients for a larger batch.
