Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries


I first had these little beauties when my friend brought them to girls night.  They are little bite sized pieces of heaven.  And just for fun, you can top some of them with graham cracker crumbs and some of them with oreo crumbs.

1 lb. large strawberries
1 (8oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, depending on how sweet you like things
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 - 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs and/or oreo crumbs

Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry.  Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary.  Some strawberries are already hollow in the middle.  Prep all strawberries this way and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.  Add cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped.  Pipe the cream cheese filling into the strawberries.  Once all strawberries are filled, dip tops in crumbs.  If not serving immediately, refrigerate until ready to serve.
