Cheesecake Filled Strawberries


I recently made this for a jewelry party I hosted and oh my, were they a HUGE hit! I thought what better way to keep kicking off my food blog was with the most in demand recipes I've made. They sound so complicated but are sooo easy. You will for sure be asked to bring them to every get together you go to!

Ingredients:
Cheesecake filling (recipe below)
24 large, firm strawberries
Ziploc bags
Graham cracker crumbs (You could easily do sprinkles, choc. chips, etc. but I just thought the graham crackers went along with the cheesecake)

Cheesecake filling: (You can also buy pre-made cheesecake filling but this is way better IMO)
12-oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla
¼-1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
1. Combine and whip together the cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Skip this step if you are using the pre-made filling.
2. Wash your strawberries and cut off the tops. Using a sharp paring knife, hollow out the inside of the strawberry without puncturing the bottom. I use the "white" insides as a measure and try to use that as my diameter to hollow out. **This part intimidated me a little but once I got started with my PC paring knife, I could have kept going for hours!
3. Dip in graham cracker crumbs and serve.
