Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries




I came across these while surfing around on a blog. They said they saw the recipe on Pinterest so off I went in search of it. Isn't this a fabulous idea! Since I honestly have no clue where this recipe originated or even a copy of it. I'm going to best deduce for you how its made.

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

12 large Strawberries
Premade Cheesecake (make your own or buy it doesn't matter)
Crushed graham crackers


Take your strawberries and thoroughly wash them. Chop off the tops so your left with a nice flat surface to scoop out of. With a tiny melon baller scoop out the center of your strawberry being very careful not to break through the outer wall. Then load your cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or tube. Fill the newly created holes with cheesecake. Top with graham crackers and your done.

Now being me I think woah, woah why stop there. You could literally personalize this any way you want. You can dip the strawberries in chocolate or drizzle strawberry sauce across the top or or even do both. The possibilities are endless.

I hope you enjoy and if you make them. Leave me a picture in the comments below. I'd love to see how they turned out.

If you make this let m know how it turned out in the comments below.
