Cheesecake Strawberries Creamy Delight (Print Version)

Juicy strawberries piped with creamy filling, topped with graham crumbs for a delightful textural contrast.

# Ingredients:

→ Filling and Base

01 - 1 pint fresh strawberries
02 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

→ Optional Garnishes

06 - Chocolate drizzle
07 - Crushed nuts
08 - Sprinkles

# Steps:

01 - Wash strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat completely dry. Remove the green stems using a paring knife, then carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry without piercing the base.
02 - In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy and lightly aerated.
03 - Using a piping bag or small spoon, fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cream cheese mixture, allowing a slight overflow to enhance presentation.
04 - Generously dust the tops of the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.
05 - If desired, top with chocolate drizzle, crushed nuts, or sprinkles to enhance appearance and taste.
06 - Arrange filled strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the filling and allow flavors to meld.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Choose firm, ripe strawberries to prevent excess moisture and leakage.
