Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries (Printable Version)

Juicy strawberries stuffed with rich, whipped cheesecake and sprinkled with cookie crumbs. Bite-sized and bake-free.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 8 ounces softened cream cheese
02 - 1 pint of fresh strawberries
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar

06 - Optional: chocolate drizzle
07 - 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Dry the washed strawberries with a towel after cleaning. Remove the tops and carve out the insides, but be careful not to cut through the bottoms.
02 - Whip the cream cheese until it's soft and creamy. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla until the texture is nice and airy.
03 - Spoon or pipe the creamy filling into the hollow strawberries and let it slightly overflow at the top.
04 - Dust with graham cracker crumbs. If you'd like, toss on some chocolate, nuts, or sprinkles for extra flavor or decoration.
05 - Put them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the filling sets before enjoying.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Enjoy them the same day for best flavor and texture.
02 - Keep them chilled until you're ready to eat.
