Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries:
Wash and dry strawberries. Hull each by cutting off the stem and scooping out a small hollow in the center. Don’t cut through the bottom. -
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until creamy and fluffy. -
Fill the Strawberries:
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each hollowed strawberry, letting it overflow slightly for a pretty presentation. -
Add the Graham Cracker Crumbs:
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the tops of the filled strawberries to mimic a cheesecake crust. -
Optional Toppings:
Drizzle with chocolate, or sprinkle crushed nuts or festive sprinkles for added flavor and flair. -
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the filling set.
Notes
-
Best served chilled and within 24 hours for freshness.
-
To prep ahead, you can make the filling a day in advance and fill the strawberries just before serving.
-
Use a star piping tip for a decorative touch.
