Are you as excited about strawberry season as I am? Because I am PUMPED! I love strawberries, in any form. In salads, smoothies, desserts, or just by themselves. When I went to the grocery last week I saw that strawberries were marked 3 for $5. So naturally, I bought six packages. In case you are wondering, that is six pounds. Yep, six pounds.

I might have gone a little overboard with my excitement. Fear not, I came up with lots of ways to use them. My first thought was a new twist on one of my favorite classic recipes, Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. I wanted a fun, Spring twist so I decided to try Key Lime Pie Stuffed Strawberries. Let me tell you, these did not disappoint! I actually went through three batches before I got these right. I was determined to use yogurt in some capacity in the filling, but it just didn’t work. The first batch I tried equal parts Key Lime yogurt and cream cheese, the second time I tried less yogurt, more cream cheese and the filling never set properly. Ultimately, I just put a simple lime twist on my filling for the Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package of reduced fat cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar or swerve for a low carb/keto friendly version
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice*
  • zest from one lime
  • 1 pound strawberries

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lime juice and lime zest. Place the mixture in the fridge to chill.
  2. Carefully cut the tips and the stems from the strawberries. Use a small spoon or metal measuring spoon and hollow out the inside of the berries. Be careful not to cut into the edges.
  3. Spoon or pipe the filling into the berries.
  4. Keep cool.
  5. Tips: I used a metal teaspoon to hollow out the large berries and a metal 1/2 teaspoon to hollow out the small berries.
  6. You can place the prepared berries in the freezer for a few minutes to help the filling set so if they tip over it doesn't ruin the appearance.

    Strawberry season :) I love just saying it out loud, it makes me so excited for spring! I love how these are so healthy! All the indulgence of key lime pie (and strawberries) but no crust!

    YUMMY! I make key lime pie all the time, and I love this lightened up way to enjoy it! Such a great idea, Annie, and they're a perfect way to use up all those strawberries!

    Haha, I just made some stuffed strawberries today too! That is funny! These look so good and sound perfect for the hot weather we are having here now!

    Annie these strawberries are gorgeous!!! Pinned! I am in love with your stunning pictures!

  13. Shauna Adams says

    I make key lime bars and I love strawberries. Sounds like a great combination. I have never stuffed strawberries before. Do you cut a small amount off the tip so the strawberry will sit on the plate?

    • Maebells says

      Hi Ms. Shauna! I love key lime and strawberries too! So this dessert is a dream come true! :) And yes, I just cut the tip of the berry so they sit nicely on a plate. They make such a cute presentation!

  15. Kathy @ Olives & Garlic says

    Im so thrilled about the strawberry season. And the asparagus season. And Spring!!!! :) Annie these strawberries rock. Key lime pie (or key lime anything) is my ultimate weakness, how ideal to create a healthier snack with strawberries. I bet these are really good.

  21. Allyson says

    Haha I can definitely relate to the produce hoarding! I am super excited about strawberry season too, these look like the perfect little bite!

    Hi Annie... Maebelle isn't your name is it? Where did you come up with the name Maebelle? It's cute. I keep saying over and over that you are my FAVORITE Celiac blogger. You are one of the few people that I consistently share on FB too. I'm curious, does your husband have issues with eating dairy? My cousins are Celiac like me. One of them can eat cream cheese. Right now... I am scared to death to eat any dairy. Your photo styling is on point too. I love the second picture. The little lime zest shavings are a nice touch. Olivia

    • Maebells says

      Hi Olivia! You are so sweet! Thank you for your kind words! You have totally made my day!:) The name Maebell came from combining my maiden name and my mom's maiden name. I thought it was a nice way to pay tribute to my Mom and grandmother! :) And my husband does eat dairy and has no problems. I would be so sad if we had to cut out cheese! ;) I'm not sure I could do it! haha!
