Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (large, firm)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (for topping)
- Optional: whipped cream or chocolate drizzle for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries. Slice off the green stems so they stand flat, then cut a deep “X” into the top of each strawberry without cutting all the way through.
- Gently spread the strawberry sections open to make room for filling.
- In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer mixture into a piping bag (or plastic bag with tip cut off).
- Pipe cheesecake filling into each strawberry.
- Sprinkle tops with graham cracker crumbs.
- Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate.
- Chill for 20–30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
Would you like me to make this no-bake only (simple 3–4 ingredients) or keep it as a fancier party-style version?
