CREAM CHEESE FILLED STRAWBERRIES

Ingredients

1 Pint of Strawberries (or more… there will be cheesecake filling leftover but the size of the strawberries will determine how many you can fill)
2 oz White chocolate
Sprinkles (optional)
Graham crumbs
Cheesecake Filling
1 8 oz Package of Cream Cheese, softened
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
rind from 1 lemon (optional)
1 cup Cool Whip or dessert topping
Instructions

Wash strawberries and dry well.
Cut the tops off the strawberries and hollow them out using a small spoon or a strawberry huller (this is the type I use, works for tomatoes and strawberries)

Place the chocolate in a small dish and melt on 50% power for about 15 seconds.. continue in 10 second increments until the chocolate is melted
Slice a thin piece of the bottom of each strawberry so it can stand up and pat it dry with a paper towel. Dip the bottom of each strawberry into chocolate and place on a parchment lined plate or pan. Refrigerate 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and lemon rind if using. Fold in the Cool Whip.
Place the cream cheese mixture in a decorator or into a Ziploc bag. If using a Ziploc bag, snip off a corner.
Pipe the cream cheese into each strawberry… don't be afraid to overfill it a bit!
Sprinkle graham crumbs on top and refrigerate until serving.
