Description
Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with a creamy cheesecake filling.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional)
- Crushed graham crackers (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing your strawberries under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the tops off and carefully hollow out the insides with a small spoon or melon baller.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped cream if you prefer a lighter filling.
- Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake filling generously.
- Sprinkle some crushed graham crackers on top of each stuffed strawberry for that classic cheesecake crunch, if desired.
- Refrigerate the stuffed strawberries for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve them chilled.
Notes
- Choose ripe and firm strawberries for the best flavor.
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- For a lighter filling, fold in whipped cream.
- Crushed graham crackers add a nice texture and flavor.
