Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries preferably large, firm strawberries
- 8 ounce cream cheese room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookie crumbs optional
- Grated chocolate or sprinkles for decoration optional
Instructions
- Wash and prepare strawberries: Rinse strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the tops and cut them in half lengthwise.
- Create a small well: Use a small paring knife or spoon to hollow out a small well in the center of each half.
- Make cheesecake mixture: Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy with an electric mixer or a spoon.
- Fill strawberries: Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake mixture and pipe it into each strawberries’ well. If you do not have a piping bag, you can spoon the mixture directly in.
- Add toppings (optional): Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers, chocolate, or sprinkles for texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate: Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This lets the cheesecake set and the strawberries chill.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
