Units
Scale
- 12 large strawberries, hulled
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Begin by carefully hulling the strawberries with a paring knife or strawberry huller, creating a small cavity in each strawberry.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Continue to beat until the mixture is fluffy and fully combined.
- Gradually add the heavy cream, mixing until the filling is smooth and light.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, making sure to fill them generously.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each filled strawberry for that classic cheesecake crust flavor.
- Optionally, garnish each strawberry with a small mint leaf for a refreshing touch.
- Refrigerate the stuffed strawberries for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these delicious, bite-sized cheesecake treats!
Notes
- Use a piping bag for a cleaner, more elegant presentation.
- These can be made a few hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Swap graham cracker crumbs with crushed vanilla wafers or chocolate cookies for a twist.
