What's For Dessert: Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

CHEESECAKE-STUFFED STRAWBERRIES

Makes 16 to 20 strawberries
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
You’ll Need
– 1 pound fresh, ripe strawberries, rinsed and patted dry
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– ¾ cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
– Optional toppings: graham cracker crumbs, shaved chocolate, finely-chopped nuts
How To
  1. Working with a paring knife, remove the stems from the strawberries. Use the point of the knife to cut around the inside of the strawberry to create room for the filling.
  2. Cut a small part off the tips of the strawberries to create a flat surface for them to stand upright. Place the strawberries on a sheet pan.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed for 2 minutes, until fluffy.
  4. Place the cream cheese mixture in a pastry bag and pipe into each strawberry, adding a little extra to the top.
  5. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, shaved chocolate or finely chopped nuts, if desired.
  6. Refrigerate until chilled.
