Instructions

Prepare the strawberries: Using a small knife or melon baller, carefully scoop out a small well in the center of each strawberry half to create space for the filling.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Fill the strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off, and pipe the filling evenly into the hollowed center of each strawberry half.
Add toppings: Sprinkle the tops of the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs to add a crunchy texture.
Garnish and serve: Optionally, garnish the stuffed strawberries with fresh mint leaves. Serve them immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For a fun twist, mix a bit of lemon zest into the filling for a citrusy touch.
You can dip the bottoms of the strawberries in melted chocolate before filling for an extra indulgent version.
Use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
The dessert is best served chilled but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
