Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Fresh strawberries Choose bright red, ripe strawberries that are firm to the touch.
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar This adds sweetness without the graininess of granulated sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract A splash of vanilla elevates the flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Graham cracker crumbs For that classic cheesecake crust texture.
Optional Toppings
  • to taste Melted chocolate
  • to taste Caramel drizzle
  • to taste Chopped nuts

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry. Carefully cut off the green tops and hollow out a small portion of the center using a paring knife or a small scoop.
Making the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Adjust the sweetness if needed.
  2. Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs into the cream cheese mixture.
Assembly
  1. Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped to make filling easier. Pipe the mixture generously into each hollowed strawberry.
  2. If desired, drizzle your strawberries with melted chocolate or sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Chilling
  1. Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days. Avoid freezing these strawberries as they may become mushy.
