Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Slice a small piece off the bottom of each strawberry so it sits flat. Carefully core the strawberries using a small knife or melon baller, creating a cavity for the filling.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream to the cream cheese. Mix until the filling is light and creamy.
- Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a small spoon.
- Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling into the hollowed-out strawberries. Do not overfill.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops lightly with graham cracker crumbs.
- Chill the stuffed strawberries for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
Notes
- For best results, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
- You can prepare the strawberries (coring them) up to 4 hours ahead of time and store them covered in the refrigerator.
- If you do not have a piping bag, use a small zip-top bag, snip a corner off, and use that to pipe the filling.
