Ingredients
-
1 lb fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/4 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1–2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for creamier texture)
-
1/4 cup crushed Golden Oreos or graham crackers (for topping)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries
Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon or melon baller to gently scoop out a small cavity in the center of each half. -
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1 tbsp of heavy cream if needed for a lighter texture. -
Fill the Strawberries
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each hollowed strawberry half. For best results, use a piping bag or ziplock with the tip cut off. -
Add the Crunchy Topping
Sprinkle crushed Golden Oreos or graham cracker crumbs over the top of the filling. -
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 15–30 minutes before serving for a firmer filling and better flavor.
Notes
-
You can use mascarpone instead of cream cheese for a lighter flavor.
-
Add mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra decadence.
-
Try adding lemon zest or strawberry jam to the filling for a flavor twist.
-
Best served chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
