Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Melon baller
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Piping bag
- Spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cutting board
- Serving tray or platter
Ingredients
- 18-24 large strawberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz package cream cheese (softened)
- ⅔ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tbp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
Prep the strawberries:
- Cut off the stems and slice strawberries in half.
- Cut a small sliver off the back of each strawberry half so they sit upright.
Hollow out the strawberries:
- Use a small melon baller to gently scoop out a small indent from the center of each strawberry half, enough to hold the filling.
Whip the cream:
- In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
Make the cheesecake filling:
- In a separate bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using).
- Mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the whipped cream:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Fill the strawberries:
- Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake filling (a star tip works great for presentation).
- Pipe the cheesecake mixture onto each hollowed-out strawberry.
Top with graham cracker crumbs:
- Sprinkle a small amount of graham cracker crumbs on top of the filled strawberries for a cheesecake crust effect.
Serve and enjoy!
- These strawberries are perfect as a dessert or appetizer for any occasion!
Notes
- Strawberry Size: Use large strawberries to ensure they can hold enough filling. If your strawberries are smaller, you may need to adjust the filling amount.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the cheesecake filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, fill the strawberries just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Filling Tip: For a smoother filling, make sure the cream cheese is softened completely before mixing. This helps avoid lumps.
