Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) Substitute with Lactose-free option for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For assembly
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries Ensure strawberries are ripe and fresh for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs For the topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gently rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Cut off the green stems and carefully hollow out the inside of each strawberry using a small spoon or a strawberry corer.
Making the Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
Assembly
  1. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
  2. Carefully fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cheesecake mixture, leaving a little room at the top.
  3. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the tops of the filled strawberries.
Chill and Serve
  1. Place the finished Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up.
  2. Serve chilled for delightful bites!

Notes

These strawberries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze the filling separately and use with fresh strawberries later.
