¼ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)
¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut off the tops and use a small spoon or melon baller to hollow out the center of each strawberry.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
- Fill the Strawberries: Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each hollowed-out strawberry, filling them generously.
- Add the Graham Cracker Topping: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle a small amount on top of each filled strawberry.
