Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake is a delightful treat that perfectly combines rich chocolate, creamy cheesecake, and fresh strawberries in a simple yet elegant pie. With each slice, you’re in for a sweet experience that is sure to impress family and friends alike.
When making Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake, fresh strawberries are key for that burst of flavor, but feel free to swap in frozen if you’re in a pinch. If cream cheese is a concern, consider a dairy-free alternative. The chocolate chips can be semi-sweet or dark, depending on your taste preference. Just ensure your pie shell is gluten-free if allergies are a factor.

Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) baked pie shell
- 1 (6 ounce) package chocolate chips
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 quart fresh strawberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- whipped cream
Instructions
- Melt 1 (6 ounce) package of chocolate chips using a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth, then blend the melted chocolate with 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can soften it with 1 tablespoon of milk.
- Spread the chocolate and cream cheese mixture into the 1 (9 inch) baked pie shell and cover with half of the quart of fresh strawberries, sliced.
- In a medium saucepan, mix 3/4 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/3 cup water. Stir constantly over low heat until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
- Add the remaining strawberries to the thickened mixture, stirring gently to coat.
- Pour the strawberry mixture over the pie, ensuring it covers the chocolate layer well. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
