Ingredients

• 24 large fresh strawberries
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Wash strawberries thoroughly and pat dry. Carefully hull the strawberries, then use a small spoon or melon baller to gently hollow out the center of each strawberry, creating a cavity for the filling. Be careful not to go all the way through the bottom.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off).
5. Pipe the cheesecake filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, filling each one generously.
6. Arrange the filled strawberries on a serving platter. Garnish each strawberry with a few fresh blueberries on top of the cheesecake filling.
7. For best results, chill the Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
