Ingredients
  

1 pound large fresh strawberries

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Strawberries: Begin by thoroughly washing the strawberries under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel. Carefully remove the green tops and hollow out the insides of each strawberry using a small paring knife or a strawberry huller, taking care not to pierce through the skin. Set the hollowed strawberries aside for stuffing later.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Once that’s achieved, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. This will create a light and airy filling.

        Incorporate Graham Cracker Crumbs: Fold in the crushed graham crackers to the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture, making sure to gently mix them in. Reserve a small amount of crumbs if you’d like to use them for garnish later. The graham crackers will give your filling a delightful cheesecake flavor and texture.

          Stuff the Strawberries: Using a piping bag fitted with a wide tip or a small spoon, carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake filling. Pack the filling in neatly to ensure every bite is delicious.

            Freeze the Strawberries: Arrange the filled strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the strawberries are firm and the cheesecake filling is set.

              Serve: Once the strawberries are frozen, you can drizzle them with chocolate sauce if desired. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top for added texture, and add fresh mint leaves for a vibrant presentation.

                Enjoy: These indulgent frozen cheesecake stuffed strawberries can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week, making them a perfect make-ahead dessert.
