Ingredients
- 12 medium to large fresh strawberries
- 12 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the strawberries, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove a small section from the center of each half to create space for the filling.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag with a star tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off).
- Pipe the filling into each strawberry half, creating a decorative swirl.
- Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for added texture, and add sprinkles if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for a firmer filling.
Notes
- Choose large, firm strawberries for the best results.
- Pat the strawberries dry before filling to prevent excess moisture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the stuffed strawberries before serving.
