Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound of fresh strawberries
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- Graham cracker crumbs for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Cut off the tops and hollow out the center of each strawberry using a small knife or a strawberry huller to create space for the filling.
- Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Fill Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling carefully into the hollowed-out centers of the strawberries until well filled.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs generously on top of each filled strawberry to add a delicious crunch and flavor contrast.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the stuffed strawberries in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake filling to set properly before serving.
Notes
- You can use different toppings like crushed nuts or mini chocolate chips for variety.
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before filling to prevent sogginess.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Consume within 24 hours for optimum freshness.
- Can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated until serving.
