Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb strawberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4 squares)

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Rinse the strawberries under cool water and gently pat them completely dry. Slice each one in half lengthwise.
  • To help them sit flat, trim a small slice off the rounded back of each half.
  • Using a small spoon or the tip of a paring knife, carefully scoop out a bit of the center of each strawberry to make room for the filling.
  • Arrange the prepared halves cut side up on the baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. (Cold cream and chilled beaters help speed this up!)
  • Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Mix just until blended and fluffy, don’t overdo it or you’ll lose the airy texture.
  • Transfer the filling into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the cheesecake mixture into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry half.
  • Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top of each filled strawberry for a classic cheesecake finish.
  • Serve immediately, or chill for a short time before serving if you prefer them cold.

Notes

  1. Removing a little of the inside of each strawberry gives the filling a better base and helps it stay put. A melon baller or small spoon works great for this. Be careful not to scoop too deep.
  2. Make Ahead Tip: You can prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate it for a few hours. Fill and top the strawberries just before serving.
  3. No Piping Bag? A zip-top bag with the corner cut off works just as well.
