Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 whole fresh strawberries
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 sheets graham crackers
- 2 oz melted chocolate (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Using a small paring knife, hull the strawberries by cutting a circle around the green tops and removing the inner core to create a small cavity. Be careful not to cut through the bottom.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round or star tip. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the cavity of each strawberry, filling it generously.
Crush the graham cracker sheets into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and pressing with a rolling pin.
Sprinkle the crushed graham cracker crumbs over the stuffed strawberries to coat the exposed cream cheese filling.
If using melted chocolate, drizzle it over the top of the strawberries for an extra touch of indulgence.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Strawberry Poppers!
