Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake filling
  • 225 grams cream cheese, softened
  • 60 grams powdered sugar
  • 5 milliliters vanilla extract
For the strawberries
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
For garnishing (optional)
  • 30 grams graham cracker crumbs Dust generously on top.
  • Chocolate drizzle Optional topping.
  • Crushed nuts Optional topping.
  • Sprinkles Optional topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash strawberries thoroughly and pat dry. Remove the green stems and carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry without piercing the base.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined and lightly aerated.
  3. Fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cream cheese mixture using a piping bag or small spoon, allowing a slight overflow for visual appeal.
  4. Dust the tops of the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.
  5. Optionally, top with chocolate drizzle, crushed nuts, or sprinkles to elevate appearance and taste.
  6. Arrange filled strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and flavors to develop.

Notes

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge. Best enjoyed within 1-2 days for maximum freshness and flavor. Experiment with different toppings like shredded coconut or mini chocolate chips for a tasty twist.
