Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (about 20-25 large berries)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 graham crackers, crushed (for topping)
- Optional: lemon zest, mini chocolate chips, or melted chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the strawberries:
- Wash and dry strawberries. Slice each in half lengthwise and use a small melon baller or spoon to gently scoop out a bit of the center, creating a “bowl” shape.
- Make the cheesecake filling:
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip.
- Fill the strawberries:
- Pipe the cheesecake mixture into the hollowed-out strawberries, filling generously.
- Garnish:
- Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and optional toppings like lemon zest, mini chocolate chips, or a drizzle of chocolate.
- Chill and serve:
- Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Use the largest strawberries you can find for easier filling.
- Can be made a few hours ahead; store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Add a bit of lemon juice or zest to the filling for extra brightness.
