Ingredients
  

For the strawberries
  • 3 lbs large fresh strawberries Choose ripe and large strawberries that can hold the filling.
For the cheesecake filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Sifted if preferred for a smoother texture.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Substitute with almond extract for a different flavor.
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, cold Ensure it’s very cold for better whipping.
  • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs For sprinkling on top for texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice each strawberry lengthwise while keeping the stems intact. Cut a small slice off the bottom of each half so they sit flat, then carefully carve out a hollow in each half.
  2. In a chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is combined.
Assembly
  1. Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake filling and pipe it into the hollowed strawberries.
  2. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top for added crunch.
Chilling
  1. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can prepare the filling a day ahead of time.
