Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and dry the strawberries.
- Slice them in half lengthwise, keeping the green tops for presentation.
- Use a small spoon or melon baller to gently scoop out the center of each half.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Fill the Strawberries:
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner snipped.
- Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each strawberry half.
Add Toppings:
- Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel, if desired.
Chill & Serve:
- Refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- Use Large Strawberries: Bigger strawberries hold more filling.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- Don’t Overfill: A little filling goes a long way!
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days
