Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or whisk
- Piping bag or ziplock bag
- Small spoon or knife
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs optional for garnish
- 2 tbsp melted chocolate optional for drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries – Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Using a small knife, hull out the center of each strawberry to create space for the cheesecake filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling – In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Strawberries – Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out strawberries.
- Garnish – Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top for a classic cheesecake touch. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
- Chill and Serve – Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- Use Fresh, Firm Strawberries – Soft or overripe strawberries may not hold the filling well.
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese – This ensures a smooth and lump-free filling.
- Don’t Overfill – A little filling goes a long way; overfilling may cause it to spill over.
- Chill Before Serving – This helps the flavors blend and makes them easier to eat.
