Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
So many funny, awkward, or crazy things have happened to me since moving.
I could fill three notebooks with stories of situations in which I’ve found myself–situations with friends, situations with guys, or sometimes even with strangers… and I wish I could figure out a way to write them all here without embarrassing or hurting the people that the stories are about.
Do you ever look back on a decision you made and think, “Why did I not do this sooner?!”
That’s how I feel about moving to Washington, D.C. I should have left Texas much sooner.
This particular post is dedicated to my friend, Jess—one of the many wonderful new friends I’ve been lucky to make this year. When she found out about my website, she asked if I could post a recipe that was super-simple, only required a few ingredients, and did not involve an oven. She then showed me a picture of something she had recently made: Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. (Her photo was beautiful, by the way.) I decided a twist on the concept of cheesecake stuffed strawberries would make a perfect Memorial Day post.

Ingredients
- 1 container fresh strawberries
- Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting OR vanilla yogurt of choice (such as Wholesoy) – about 2 tsp filling per strawberry
- Optional mini chocolate chips for garnish
- Optional graham crackers for garnish
Instructions
Wash the strawberries, cut off the stems, and scoop out a well in the middle of each, using a small spoon or knife. If you want the berries to stand up, cut off the bottoms of the berries as well. Eat the unused berry pieces as you work! Fill the hollow section of each berry with yogurt of choice. (If you’d prefer a cream cheese or coconut filling, I’ve listed alternative filling ideas below the second photo in this post.) Garnish with graham cracker crumbs or mini chocolate chips, and serve immediately.
Question of the Day:
Are there any decisions you were initially afraid to make, but that you now look back and wonder, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

I made these the other day, and they were amazing!!! I filled them with plain greek yogurt mixed with some honey, and topped them with some home toasted unsweetened shredded coconut. Thank you for sharing your great recipes! 🙂

I received a reply to my comment today. First I didn’t realize my replies would be sent to my personal email address and secondly I had commented on how difficult it was for me to copy a recipe as I am a senior. I do not know how to copy/paste and I find websites with free recipes that let me copy recipes with a “copy recipe” icon. Someone sent me a very rude comment to my reply. I didn’t know that Katie only wants very positive comments and I am not happy to receive an insulting reply telling me I was bad to have sent a negative reply and they assumed I know how to use a computer as they do! I also said that the ingredients, although very healthy, are expensive and I don’t usually buy them. Don’t bother to REPLY TO MY COMMENT AS IT WILL GO INTO SPAM. By The way, I did not say anything about Katie only my opinions stated above about the recipes. As the recipes on this website are not what I would make I don’t intend to visit this website again. There are a lot more websites out there for me.

These look great. I think I will fill them with whipped coconut cream and top them with chopped mint.
