# Components:

→ Strawberries

01 - 24 large fresh strawberries

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - Transfer cheesecake filling into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off, then pipe mixture generously into each hulled strawberry.
04 - Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries.
05 - Arrange strawberries on a serving platter and chill for 10 minutes if desired before serving.

# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • No baking required so you can make them in under 20 minutes start to finish
  • The combination of juicy sweet strawberries with tangy creamy filling creates the perfect bite-sized balance
02 -
  • Dry strawberries thoroughly before filling or the moisture will make the filling slide right off
  • Room temperature cream cheese is non-negotiable for achieving that smooth, pipeable texture
03 -
  • If your filling is too stiff, add a teaspoon of heavy cream to reach the right consistency
  • The tiny spoon from your measuring set works perfectly for scooping out strawberry centers
