2) Easy Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries Recipe

Have you ever stood in the kitchen, strawberry in one hand, spoonful of cheesecake filling in the other, and thought—yep, this is the life? That’s where this easy cheesecake recipe comes in.

These chocolate covered cheesecake strawberries are the kind of treat that feels fancier than they are. You don’t need a culinary degree or even an oven. You need about 20 minutes and maybe a little self-restraint not to eat them all before the chocolate hardens.

We’re talking about sweet easy recipes that check all the boxes. They’re creamy, fruity, and rich without being fussy. Perfect for a weekend treat, a party platter, or that random Tuesday when dinner felt like too much work and dessert just had to happen.

3) Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries

1 lb fresh strawberries: Get the firm, ripe ones. Wash and dry them well, or the chocolate won’t stick and you’ll end up with a soggy mess.

4 oz cream cheese, softened: The real star here. It’s what gives that rich, tangy cheesecake flavor without baking anything at all.

2 tablespoons powdered sugar: Just enough to sweeten the cream cheese without making it cloying. You want that balance between tart and sweet.

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: This tiny splash pulls everything together. Skip it and you’ll know something’s missing. Use real extract if you can.

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips: These melt smoothly and coat like a dream. Dark chocolate works too, but semi-sweet keeps things friendly.

1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional): It thins the chocolate just enough for that glossy, even finish. Totally optional, but it helps if you’re a perfectionist (like me on Thursdays).

4) How to Make Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries

Step 1. Hull your strawberries and use a small spoon or knife to scoop a bit from the center. You’re making a little space for that cheesecake magic.

Step 2. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. It should look like frosting and taste even better.

Step 3. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a snipped corner. Fill the strawberries like they’re tiny edible vases of joy.

Step 4. Melt the chocolate chips (with coconut oil, if using) in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, until silky and pourable.

Step 5. Dip each filled strawberry into the melted chocolate. Let the chocolate come halfway up the berry—or all the way if you’re living wild today.

Step 6. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the fridge until the chocolate sets. That’s it. You’re officially a dessert genius.

5) Tips for Making Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries

Dry those berries. I mean bone-dry. Chocolate hates moisture, and wet strawberries will sabotage your coating faster than you can say “easy dessert recipes.”

Don’t skip the chill time. Even if you’re tempted. It gives the chocolate a chance to harden and the filling to settle. Your future self will thank you.

If the cream cheese mix feels too stiff to pipe, let it sit for a couple minutes or warm it gently in your hands. Nobody likes a fight with a piping bag.

6) Making Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries Ahead of Time

Planning ahead? These sweet treats actually love a little fridge time. They hold up well for a few hours, even overnight if you store them properly.

Fill and dip them, then pop them in an airtight container. Give them space. If they touch, you’ll lose that pretty chocolate finish. Stack with parchment paper if needed.

This trick is perfect for parties or when you’re batch-making for the holidays. I once made four dozen the night before a baby shower, and not a single one made it back home.

7) Storing Leftover Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Strawberries

Keep leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container. They’ll stay good for up to 2 days, but honestly—they usually disappear way before that.

If you plan to store them, line the container with parchment and avoid stacking. The chocolate can smudge, and we’re not animals.

These are best served chilled. That creamy cheesecake center with the cold snap of chocolate is what makes this one of my favorite easy baking recipes without actually baking.
