Ingredients
  

Fruit Base
  • 24 large strawberries washed and hulled
Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream very cold
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
  • 0.5 cup graham cracker crumbs

Equipment

  • Hand mixer
  • Piping Bag or Ziploc Bag
  • Melon baller or teaspoon
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Wash strawberries and pat them completely dry. Hull the stems and slice them in half lengthwise. Optional: slice a small sliver off the bottom so they sit flat.
  2. Using a small spoon or melon baller, hollow out the center of each strawberry half to create a small bowl for the filling.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined and fluffy.
  6. Transfer the filling to a piping bag (or a plastic bag with the corner cut off) and pipe the mixture into the hollowed strawberries.
  7. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top of the filling immediately.
  8. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for best texture.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before filling, otherwise the cream will slide off.
