Ingredients

1 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and cored
3 graham crackers crushed, or as needed
2 teaspoons mini chocolate chips
2 teaspoon sprinkles

Instructions

Hull each strawberry, then use a melon baller or small measuring spoon to hollow out the insides of the strawberries.
Using a knife, slice a small part of the bottom of each strawberry to create a flat surface for them to stand on.
In a large bowl, using an electric stand or hand mixer, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag with a star tip or a resealable bag with a corner snipped.
Fill the strawberries by piping the cheesecake filling into each prepared strawberry.
Add some graham cracker crumbs and a few mini chocolate chips to the top of the cheesecake mixture. Or you can top some strawberries with sprinkles too.
Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator.

Notes

Choose Ripe, Large Strawberries. For the best taste and for easy prep use large ripe strawberries. Larger strawberries provide more space for the cheesecake filling.
Dry Thoroughly. After washing the strawberries, dry them completely to prevent the filling from becoming watery and to prevent the filling from slipping out.
Chill the Filling. Make sure the cheesecake filling is well-chilled before piping. This helps it hold its shape and makes the strawberries easier to handle.
Use a Piping Bag. For the best look and presentation, use a piping bag with a star tip to fill the strawberries. It will make a great decorative swirl.
Serve Fresh. For the best taste and texture, serve the cheesecake stuffed strawberries within a few hours of preparation.
