Ingredients
Scale
1 pound fresh strawberries
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the tops off and hollow out a small portion of the inside using a small spoon or a paring knife, being careful not to break the sides.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into each hollowed-out strawberry, filling them generously.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each filled strawberry for a crunchy finish.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
Notes
For a chocolate twist, mix in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder into the cheesecake filling.
Try using flavored cream cheese, such as strawberry or vanilla, for an extra layer of flavor.
