My co-worker made these over the weekend for a party and brought the "leftovers" to work. Yum!
Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Yield: 10 - 12 strawberries (depending on size)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound large strawberries
8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
3 – 4 tablespoons powdered sugar (depends on how sweet you want the filling)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or use almond, lemon, etc. )
Graham cracker crumbs
Directions:
Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out inside with a paring knife if necessary. If you want to stand your strawberries upright, slice a bit off the bottom. Once strawberries are prepped, set aside.
Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla with a mixer or by hand. Add cream cheese mix to piping bag and fill strawberries. Once strawberries are filled, dip the top in graham cracker crumbs.
You could also drizzle or dip strawberries in chocolate if desired.
Store left-overs in the refrigerator.
(Edited to add: If I ever make these, I would very lightly sprinkle the hollowed-out strawberries with just a touch of granulated sugar before filling them. I might just cut the berries in half instead of trying to hollow them out, too.)
