Ingredients

¾ cup white chocolate chips
8 ounces softened cream cheese
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons blueberry jam
30 large strawberries
30 blueberries

Instructions

Melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whip cream cheese until fluffy. Mix in powdered sugar and almond extract. Beat in melted white chocolate until smooth and creamy. Swirl in the blueberry jam. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and chill for one hour or until firm enough to pipe.
Wash strawberries and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the tops off the strawberries and place them flat side down on a plate. Cut an X ¾ of the way down the strawberry.
Place cheesecake filling in a piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner snipped off, fitted with a star tip. Pipe the filling into the center of each strawberry.
Top each stuffed strawberry with a blueberry. Cover, refrigerate, and serve the same day.

Notes

If not serving within an hour or so of making them, place strawberries on paper towels to absorb any moisture released from the strawberries.

Make Ahead

Prepare the blueberry cheesecake filling a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. The next day, wash, cut, and fill the strawberries.

How to Fill Strawberries Without a Piping Bag

If you prefer to spoon the filling into the strawberries, I recommend cutting the strawberries in a different way.

Cut off the tops of the strawberries and use a small paring knife or melon baller to hollow out the berries. Use a spoon to fill the centers of the berries with cheesecake filling. Serve them on their sides.
Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise and cut a small sliver off the rounded side so it will sit flat. Use a spoon to dollop cheesecake filling on top of each half, like a deviled egg.
