Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles Recipe

These waffles are more than just delicious—they’re impressive and easy to make. You’ll love how the creamy filling contrasts with the crisp waffle, and the strawberries add just the right pop of fruitiness. Whether you’re serving them for a fancy breakfast or as a dessert, they fit right in. Plus, they can be prepped ahead, which makes them ideal for gatherings.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries?

Yes, you can absolutely use frozen strawberries if fresh aren’t in season. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid adding too much moisture to your filling. Fresh strawberries do offer a better texture and flavor when available, but frozen ones will still get the job done beautifully.

Ingredients for the Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles

To create these dreamy waffles, you’ll need a handful of kitchen staples and a little love. Here are the essentials that bring this recipe to life:

Waffles
These are the base of the recipe. You can use frozen Belgian waffles for convenience or make your own from scratch.

Cream Cheese
The heart of the cheesecake filling. It should be softened for smooth blending.

Powdered Sugar
Adds sweetness and helps the filling set up just right.

Vanilla Extract
A splash of vanilla brings warmth and depth to the cheesecake mixture.

Heavy Cream
Whipped into the filling for a lighter, creamier texture.

Strawberries
Fresh is best for slicing and folding into the filling or layering in between. Ripe and juicy ones make all the difference.

Butter
Used to toast the waffles until golden brown and crisp.

How To Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 2: Prep the Strawberries

Wash, hull, and slice your strawberries. If you’re using frozen, make sure they’re fully thawed and patted dry.

Step 3: Assemble the Waffles

Spread a thick layer of the cheesecake filling onto one waffle. Add a generous layer of strawberries on top, then sandwich with a second waffle. Repeat with remaining waffles and filling.

Step 4: Toast the Waffles

In a skillet over medium heat, melt a bit of butter and carefully place each stuffed waffle in the pan. Toast each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. You can also toast them in a waffle iron or panini press if preferred.

Step 5: Serve

Slice and serve warm with extra strawberries, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup if you’re feeling fancy.

How to Serve and Store Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles

This recipe makes about 4 large waffles, which can serve 4 people generously or 8 if sliced in halves. Serve them warm right off the skillet for the ultimate treat. If you’re making them ahead, assemble and refrigerate, then toast when ready to serve. You can also store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster oven or skillet—microwaving can make them a bit soggy.
