Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh strawberries
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Graham cracker crumbs, for topping (optional)

Instructions:

Wash the strawberries and pat them dry. Cut off the tops of the strawberries and hollow out the center using a small knife or strawberry huller, creating a small well for the filling. Place the strawberries on a paper towel-lined tray to drain any excess moisture and then arrange hollowed strawberries in mini-muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined and smooth.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or simply use a spoon to fill the strawberries with the mixture, mounding it slightly on top.
If desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the tops of the filled strawberries for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the stuffed strawberries for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a delightful and easy-to-make dessert!

Tips:

Choose strawberries that are firm and ripe for the best results.
Feel free to add a touch of lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture for a refreshing twist.
These cheesecake-stuffed strawberries can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
