Cookie Butter Cheesecake Strawberries Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Strawberries:
Wash and dry your strawberries thoroughly. Using a small knife or melon baller, carefully hollow out the centers, creating a pocket for the filling.
2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If the mixture feels too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk and blend again until fluffy.
3️⃣ Fill the Strawberries:
Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling generously into each hollowed strawberry.
4️⃣ Add the Crunch:
In a small bowl, mix crushed cookies or graham crackers with melted butter. Dip or roll the tops of the stuffed strawberries into the crumb mixture to coat the cheesecake filling.
5️⃣ Chill and Serve:
Place stuffed strawberries on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor!
Pro Tips for Perfect Stuffed Strawberries:
- Dry strawberries = no slip: Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before filling for best results.
- Use a piping bag: It makes filling neater and prettier (but a spoon works in a pinch too).
- Crumbs sticking trouble? Gently press the crumb topping into the filling right after piping for best hold.

FAQ About Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries:
Can I make these ahead?
Absolutely! Prep them up to 24 hours in advance. Just keep them chilled until ready to serve.
Can I use other fruit?
Sure! Try halved peaches, hollowed apples, or even mini bell peppers (for a savory version).
Can I skip the cookie butter?

Common Problems and Fixes:
- Filling too runny?
Add more powdered sugar or pop it in the fridge to thicken before piping. - Strawberries won’t stand up?
Slice a tiny bit off the bottom to give them a flat base.
Flavor Variations You Can Try:

- Pumpkin Spice Version: Add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling for fall vibes.
- Chocolate-Dipped Base: Dip the bottoms in melted chocolate before chilling for a fancy finish.
