Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions
- Hollow out strawberries: Using a small paring knife or strawberry huller, remove the stems and hollow out the center of each strawberry to create space for filling.
- Prepare cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry.
