Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by rinsing and gently patting dry about 12 large ripe fresh strawberries. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, keeping the green stems attached.
- Using a small spoon or a melon baller, carefully scoop out a small portion from the center of each strawberry half.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream. Whip the cream on medium-high speed for about 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, combine 8 oz. of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or use a zip-top bag. Fill each hollowed-out strawberry half with the creamy filling.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of graham cracker crumbs over each filled half before serving.
- Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes
