Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag with a star tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off).
  4. Pipe the filling into each strawberry half, creating a decorative swirl.
  5. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for added texture, and add sprinkles if desired.
  6. 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.
