Ingredients

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers

Optional: chocolate drizzle for garnish

Instructions

Start by rinsing the strawberries under cool water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully hull each strawberry with a paring knife, creating a hollow space for the stuffing. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Spoon the cheesecake filling into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag and cut a corner to create a makeshift piping bag.

Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each hulled strawberry, filling it generously.

After filling all the strawberries, sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top of the cheesecake filling to mimic the crust of a traditional cheesecake.

For an optional touch of sweetness, melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the stuffed strawberries using a fork or a squeeze bottle for precision.

Chill the stuffed strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake filling to firm up slightly.

Serve chilled and enjoy this sweet, creamy treat!
