Description
Juicy strawberries filled with creamy cheesecake filling and topped with graham cracker crumbs make for an effortless, elegant dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 large fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Graham cracker crumbs for topping
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry 20 large strawberries. Slice off the tops and cut each strawberry in half lengthwise. Using a paring knife or melon baller, hollow out a small cavity in each half.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, creating a small mound on top.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries for that classic cheesecake vibe.
- Place the strawberries on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Choose large strawberries for easier filling. Keep the strawberries chilled for best results. Experiment with toppings like mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts for added flair.
