Begin by washing 12 fresh strawberries under cold water, gently rubbing their surfaces to remove any dirt. Pat them dry and carefully remove their green stems.

Hollow out the centers of each strawberry using a paring knife while ensuring the base remains intact.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each hollowed strawberry, allowing a slight overflow for presentation.

Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries. Optionally, add chocolate drizzle or sprinkles.

Chill the decorated strawberries on a platter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
