Step-by-Step Instructions
Making Chocolate Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries is a fun process, and I’m here to guide you through it.

Next, using a paring knife, carefully slice the top off each strawberry and carefully hollow out the center. Don’t cut too deep; you want a little nest for the cheesecake filling! This step is crucial for achieving that perfect bite. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
