Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 12 large strawberries (tops removed)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • fresh mint for garnish (optional)

Instruction

  • Use a melon baller or small spoon to hollow out the insides of the berries.
  • Optional step: Slice the tips off the bottom of the strawberries so that they can stand up on a plate. Otherwise you can serve the berries on their sides.
  • Place the cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
  • Add the cream and vanilla and beat for 1 more minute.
  • Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or place the mixture in a resealable plastic bag and snip off the tip of the bag.
  • Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each strawberry.
  • Sprinkle with graham crackers and serve. Garnish your serving plate with fresh mint if desired.
