Happy Thursday, almost the weekend…can you smell it? I sure can – for some reason it always feels like it is Monday to me so when I stop to take in the coming weekend it just makes me feel all nice.
I know all ya’ll berry lovers out there have already given in, and somewhere in your fridge or freezer you have some of those beautiful red strawberries waiting to live out their special strawberry dream…I got one for you – quick, easy & scrumptious.
INGREDIENTS
1-2 Packages of Strawberries (depending on your stuffing)
1 8oz package of Cream Cheese
1 1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extract (add more depending on your taste)
¾ cup Powdered Sugar
6-8 Graham Crackers, lightly crushed
DIRECTIONS
Wash your berries and then dry. When ready hold the berry and cut a thin piece off of the side.
Next take a small spoon and remove the white inside portion of the strawberry, leave a nice void in the center in order to fill with our cream cheese mixture.
Now for the cream cheese filling. Mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. This can be made ahead of time if needed. Once ready take a spoon and fill each strawberry with the mixture.
Now take your crushed grahams and place them on a plate, take each strawberry and *smoosh* it down into the crumbs – cream cheese side down.
Now after you quit drooling, pony up and take a bite! After I made these berries I kept them chilling in my fridge until served. Remember to have a great weekend with the ones you LOVE….including these strawberries.

Niiiice. We love these. I usually make mine with mascarpone and I might get lazy once in a while and just top the "cheesecake" mixture with my fresh strawberries. Hee-hee

OMG....that is such a great idea!! I bet they were really really good....yummmm.......I know my girls would love something like that, especially when we get those huge strawberries....
this is definitely going on my dessert list for school and for parties at home!
Holy cow, it's genius. It's like my dip but in one bite, and with a crust! I love the polka dot plate btw.

Hi Jennifer! I just saw these over at 'The Ungourmet'. Kim made them sound so good. I'm on a no refined sugar diet, but I think this recipe could easily be made with something like maple, no? I bet I could (smile).
p.s. Indigo is so cute!
Stella - I must confess I have no idea! I bet no matter what though you are still left with cream cheese filled berries, which couldnt be all that bad! cheers!
I was over at Kim's too...and how could I not come and see the genius who spread the word on this fabulous idea. I can see this working on so many levels.
Jennifurla...it's a real pleasure making your acquaintance ;o)
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Shut up! I've seen the strawberries with whipped cream in them but these take the cake. I am so on board with these!
Jennyfurla...I had to come back and tell you what a great hit your stuffed strawberry cheesecake surprise was with my guests. I also added a touch of Grand Marinier liquor and some finely zested orange...a real delight ;o)
Again, thanks for your inventivenss in the kitchen ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia
Oh I am so glad everyone liked them! Thanks for taking the time to come and tell me!
