Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh strawberries (~12-15 berries) cleaned and halved
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened, two-thirds of a package
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream plus more as needed
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon Graham cracker crumbs for topping
Instructions
- STRAWBERRIES: Slice the strawberries down the center. To fill the strawberries generously, you can always hull out the center a bit with a paring knife, but this is optional.
- WHIP: in a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla. Whisk manually or use a hand mixer to combine until the ingredients are somewhat airy and pipeable. If the filling is too firm, you can add another tablespoon of cream, but you shouldn't need to.
- FILL: Using a piping bag (with or without a nozzle) fill the cheesecake mixture inside the strawberries. Alternately, you can use a strong zip-top bag snipped at the corner if you didn’t have a piping bag. Place strawberries on a baking sheet and continue to fill remaining strawberries the same way.
- TOP: Once the strawberries are filled, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and serve. If serving later, sprinkle with crumbs right before serving!
Notes
- When filling: slice the bottom of the strawberry halves if they keep flopping over. A steady base will keep the berries from tilting over on the plate.
