Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries (about 20-24 medium-sized)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for a refreshing twist)

Mini chocolate chips or fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry. Remove the green leaves and cut a conical section from the top, creating a hollow space to fill.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until well combined and fluffy. If using lemon zest, fold it in for a zesty flavor.

      Fill the Strawberries: Use a piping bag or a small spoon to carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture, ensuring to overfill slightly for an appealing look.

        Add Crusty Topping: Take the crushed graham crackers and sprinkle them generously over the stuffed strawberries, pressing gently to help them adhere to the filling.

          Chill and Serve: Place the filled strawberries on a serving plate and cover them with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the filling firm up.

            Garnish: Just before serving, add mini chocolate chips on top of each strawberry or garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.
