Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Strawberries are a simple patriotic dessert with a sweetened cream cheese filling topped with blueberries.
Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Strawberries are perfect for the 4th of July or any summer potluck or picnic. They make a healthier dessert option and look so festive. Plus they are simple to make.
Just cut fresh strawberries in half. I look for really big ones because then you can really load the cheesecake filling on them. 🙂
There’s no need to hull the strawberries when serving them halved like this which greatly cuts down on prep time.
A simple cheesecake filling is made from cream cheese, sugar, whipped topping, and a little almond extract adds awesome flavor.
Pipe the cheesecake filling on the strawberry halves using a large star tip and then press a few fresh blueberries into the filling of each one for an awesome red, white, and blue treat.
Once made just refrigerate until needed. They are a great make ahead party food.
Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Strawberries make the perfect bite-sized finger food for your Fourth of July Party.
