👩‍🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the strawberries:
Cut off the green tops of each strawberry.
Using a small knife or melon baller, carefully hollow out the center of each berry to create a cavity.
2. Make the cheesecake filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add heavy cream if needed to thin out the consistency slightly.
3. Pipe the filling:
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each strawberry cavity, creating a “deviled egg” swirl on top.
4. Garnish:
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the filled strawberries for that classic cheesecake touch.
You can also dust with powdered sugar or add a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
5. Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best results.
Serve cold and enjoy!
