Ingredients
- 20 large Fresh strawberries
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Graham cracker crumbs
- 10 small Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the strawberries under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Cut off the leafy tops of the strawberries and carefully hollow them out using a small paring knife or a melon baller. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the strawberries; they need to hold the filling.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well using a hand mixer or a spoon until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip, or alternatively, use a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.
Step 5
Fill each hollowed strawberry with the cream cheese mixture, piping it in until slightly overflowing.
Step 6
Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed strawberries with graham cracker crumbs for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
Step 7
If desired, garnish each stuffed strawberry with a fresh mint leaf for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Step 8
Chill the stuffed strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!
