Ingredients
18 to 24 large strawberries Base for holding the filling
1 cup heavy whipping cream Creates a fluffy, creamy texture
8 ounces cream cheese (softened) Provides the rich cheesecake flavor
Two-thirds cup white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Half cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
1-Cut off the stems of the strawberries, slice them in half, and trim a small sliver off the back so they sit flat. Then, hollow out the center of each half using a melon baller to create space for the filling.
2-Beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form, which takes about 5 minutes, for a light and airy texture.
3-In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, two-thirds cup white granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4-Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a rich filling thatβs easy to pipe.
5-Pipe the cheesecake filling into each hollowed strawberry half, filling them generously.
6-Sprinkle half cup of graham cracker crumbs over the top of each filled strawberry to add a crust-like finish.
7-Serve immediately for the best texture and taste, ensuring your treats are fresh and delicious.
