Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

OMG...SO DELICIOUS!!!

Makes 16-20 stuffed strawberries

Perfect for parties...or a snack for family wanting to eat as fast as you can make...yummy! Therefore, pics show double batch so I would have some to take to the office.

Ingredients:

1 lb. fresh strawberries, rinsed and pat dry

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Graham cracker crumbs, optional

Directions:

With a paring knife, cut off the strawberry stems.

Cut around the inside of the strawberry, hollowing out slightly and creating a well for the cheesecake. (You can also do this with a small melon baller as I did).

Cut off a small portion of the pointy strawberry tip, so that each strawberry can stand.

Place each on a serving platter.

In a medium bowl, with a electric mixer (or cheat like I did and use food processor), beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium speed.

Place mixture in a pastry bag and pipe into each strawberry, adding a little extra to the top.

Optionally, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each stuffed strawberry.

Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Enjoy!
