Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

These are so heavenly!  A combination of my favorites-- strawberries and cheesecake.  Oh wow, I could really eat a million of them!  So good!  Although I would advise eating them soon after making them [or at least the same day].  The second time I made these, I saved quite a few for the next few days, and even just the next day, they weren't nearly as good.  Definitely best fresh!  Mmm...
Time:  About 20 min
Enjoy!


Ingredients:
1 lb large strawberries
8 oz. cream cheese, softened (can use 1/3 less fat)
3-4 tbsp powdered sugar (4 tbsp for a sweeter filling)
1 tsp vanilla extract
graham cracker crumbs


Directions:
Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry.  Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary (some may already be hollow inside).  Prep all strawberries and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy.  Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or ziploc with the corner snipped off.  Fill strawberries with cheesecake mixture. Once strawberries are filled, dip the top in graham cracker crumbs.  If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.
