Some time ago, I was going through my freezer and found out, that it still contains some summer berries, like these strawberries. So I told myself that it would be shame not to use them, so I made these strawberry cheesecake muffins. Muffins have a surprise inside, a cheesecake filling. I didn´t use a lot o fit, but you can easily double the amount of the filling, muffins will be even more creamy. Sprinkle them with cinnamon streusel, which only finishes the great taste. They´re a perfect alternative, when you want to combine muffins and cheesecake, but you´re craving for something cake like.
