Ingredients in No-Bake Cheesecake Filling (Low-Carb Option)

You’ll be surprised just how easy it is to make this filling from scratch, especially if you’re used to the whipped topping version. But, you can adjust the sweetener if you make it yourself.

We’ve made this no-bake cheesecake filling with sugar, honey, stevia and erythritol-based sweeteners. It works like a charm every single time!

• Cream cheese – Softened; Cut into cubes and microwave at low power for about 30 seconds
• Heavy whipping cream – full-fat cream is needed to form the stiff filling
• Vanilla extract
• Sweetener of choice – any type will work!

To make the filling, cream the sweetener and cream cheese together in a glass bowl. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract. Use electric beaters to mix on high until the mixture is firm and peaks form, about 2 minutes. Don’t overmix or the ingredients will begin to separate!

Tip: Be sure to taste test and adjust the sweetness accordingly.

How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

There are several ways to present strawberries and cheesecake filling:

Like a Flower

This presentation works best with tall cylindrical-shaped strawberries:

Step 1 – Cut a thin slice off the bottoms of the strawberries where the stem was so they will sit nicely on a plate.

Step 2 – Use a knife to cut deep slits in the top of each strawberry in the shape of an “x” being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3 – Fill a pastry bag or plastic bag with the cream cheese filling. Squeeze the filling to the corner of the bag and nip off the corner.

Step 4 – Gently spread the strawberries open and pipe the filling into the center of each strawberry.

Center Hulled Out

Another option is to pipe the cream cheese filling into a cleaned-out center.

Step 1 – Slice the end of the strawberry with the stem off.

Step 2 – Cut a sliver off the bottom so they will stay upright.

Step 3 – Use a small measuring spoon or pairing knife to remove the flesh in the center of the strawberry.

Step 4 – Fill a plastic bag filled with no-bake filling and pipe it into the center.

Sliced in Half

You can also just slice the strawberries in half and pipe the cheesecake on top! No judgment here!

Expert Tips 

• Don’t wash the strawberries until it’s time to make the recipe. Then, quickly rinse and pat them dry.
• Strawberries come in all shapes and sizes. Tall cylindrical-shaped strawberries and big fat round strawberries work best for the flower presentation.
• The filling makes a wonderful dip for strawberries that don’t make the cut. (And for other fruit too like raspberries!)
• Another option is to stuff the strawberries with Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting using date paste!
• The filling and/or the stuffed strawberries can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
• Topping ideas: sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs or blueberries for a 4th of July celebration.
