Choosing strawberries that are ripe, flavorful, and large enough to hollow out is essential for the best results.

How to make cheesecake stuffed strawberries
Clean your strawberries, cut off the top green leaves, and then hollowed them out. I prefer to hollow them out using a paring knife.
Prepare your cream cheese filling in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stuff the strawberries! I use a teaspoon measuring spoon as it is small and allows me to place the cream cheese easier farther down in the strawberry.
Dip in the graham cracker crumbs and ENJOY!
