Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (this was about 16 large strawberries for me)
- 4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ t vanilla extract
- 1 full sized low fat graham cracker (one sheet of four little rectangles), crushed
Directions:
1. Cut the tops off of
each strawberry and discard. Using a paring knife, hollow out each strawberry,
removing the white interior.
2. In a mixing bowl,
combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat with an
electric mixer until thoroughly combined. At this point you can either transfer
the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag and pipe it into each berry, or do
what I did and just fill each berry using a butter knife.
3. Dip each strawberry,
cheesecake side down, into the graham cracker crumbs, coating the top.
Enjoy! These taste the best if eaten the day they are made. You can always make the the filling and set it aside and make a few at a time for a mid-day "snack" or desert!
