## Instructions

### 1. Prep the strawberries

Wash and dry the strawberries. Slice them in half lengthwise, and use a small melon baller or spoon to carefully scoop out a bit of the center of each half, creating a small well.

### 2. Make the cheesecake filling

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

### 3. Pipe the filling

Spoon the filling into a piping bag (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off). Pipe a generous swirl of cheesecake filling into the center of each strawberry half.

### 4. Add toppings (optional)

Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers, chocolate shavings, or your favorite topping for a little extra flair.

### 5. Chill and serve

Place the filled strawberries on a tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
