Description
Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries are a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with a creamy cheesecake filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 large fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whipped topping
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the strawberries. Cut the tops off and hollow out the centers using a small spoon or a piping tip, being careful not to break the sides.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture.
- Sprinkle the tops of the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
- Chill the stuffed strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the cheesecake mixture for a citrusy flavor.
- You can also substitute the whipped topping with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
