Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 to 18 medium to large strawberries washed and patted dry
  • 2 ounces graham crackers
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar sifted
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Hollow out the strawberries and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a mini food processor, break up the graham crackers. Secure the lid and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Transfer them to a bowl and add in sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  • Meanwhile melt butter in a small skillet over medium to medium-low heat, stirring often until fragrant and golden brown. Remove iff of the heat and add in the graham cracker crumbs and stir to combine.
  • In a large mixing bowl, measure and add heavy cream, vanilla, (softened) cream cheese and sift in the powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer and blend until smooth. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag or resealable bag.
    You can use a bag with a piping tip, however just snipping the corner of the bag is fine too.
  • Fill each hollowed strawberry with cheesecake filling. I fill them all up and then go back and add more if needed.
  • Lastly, sprinkle on the brown butter graham cracker crumbs.
