Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 20 large)
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Rinse and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out a small well from the center using a small spoon or melon baller.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
- Fill Strawberries: Transfer the creamy cheesecake filling to a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed centers of each strawberry half, filling them generously.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the filled strawberries to add texture and a classic cheesecake flavor.
- Garnish and Chill: Optionally, garnish each filled strawberry with a fresh mint leaf. Refrigerate the stuffed strawberries until ready to serve, preferably the same day for best freshness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the cheesecake filling before mixing.
- These stuffed strawberries are best served the same day they’re prepared to maintain freshness and texture.
