Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large strawberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for added tang)
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Slice a small amount off the bottom of each strawberry to create a flat base so they can stand upright.
- Using a paring knife or small spoon, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) and mix until well combined. If you want a lighter, fluffier filling, fold in the whipped cream.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or use a small spoon to fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cheesecake mixture.
- Sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs for that classic cheesecake crust flavor.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these sweet, cheesecake-filled strawberry bites!
Notes
- If you prefer a no-bake version, you can add a little bit of sour cream to the filling for a tangier flavor.
- These strawberries can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving, but it’s best to add the graham cracker crumbs right before serving to keep them crunchy.
- You can also drizzle a little chocolate or caramel syrup on top for added sweetness!
