How to make cheesecake filled strawberries
Step one: Clean your strawberries, cut off the top green leaves, and then hollowed them out. I prefer to hollow them out using a paring knife.
Step two: Combine softened cream cheese, strawberry preserves, vanilla, and powdered sugar and mix together until smooth.
Step three: 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. Then dip the top into the graham crackers.
