Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Kitchen knife
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • baking sheet pan
  • Silicone Baking Mat

Ingredients
 

  • 3 lbs strawberries
  • 1 block cream cheese 8 oz, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 graham cracker sheets

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the strawberries, then dry each one well with a clean towel. The skins should feel dry rather than slick.
  • Cut the berries lengthwise and shave a thin piece from the rounded underside of each half; arrange them on a baking sheet. Each half should rest flat without rocking.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stop when the mixture looks smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream and beat for about 2 minutes, until the filling thickens slightly. It should hold soft, visible ridges when the beaters lift.
  • Spoon the filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag and pipe it onto the strawberry halves. The filling should form a mound that stays in place.
  • Scatter the graham cracker crumbs over the filled berries just before serving. The crumbs should sit on top of the cream rather than sink into it.

Notes

Moisture tip: Ensure strawberry halves are patted thoroughly dry with clean paper towels before piping so the cheesecake mixture adheres firmly without slipping off.
Leveling: Shave only a paper-thin sliver from the rounded underside of each half so the berries sit stable on the serving tray without wobbling.
Serving tip: Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs right before setting out the platter so they stay crisp and do not soften against the cream.
Make-ahead: The cream cheese filling can be whipped and kept refrigerated in advance, but wash, slice, and assemble the strawberries close to serving to prevent juices from pooling.
