Ingredients

Scale

For the Berries:

  • 3 lbs large fresh strawberries

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prep Strawberries: Slice the strawberries lengthwise while keeping the stems intact. Cut a tiny slice off the bottom of each strawberry so they can sit flat without tipping over. Using a melon baller, carefully carve out a small hollow in the center of each strawberry to create space for the filling.
  2. Make Filling: Whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling generously into the hollowed-out centers of the prepared strawberries using a piping bag for precision. Once filled, sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs to add texture and a hint of sweetness.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled strawberry cheesecakes for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results.
  • Ensure cream cheese is well softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For more crunch, use freshly crushed graham crackers just before serving.
  • These strawberries are best served within 24 hours of assembly for freshness.
  • Variations: Add a touch of lemon zest to the filling for a citrus twist or use chocolate shavings instead of graham cracker crumbs.
