Whipped cream (for drizzling, optional) 7. 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (for topping) 🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳 1. Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries and pat them dry.

Make the Cheesecake Filling: Combine the softened cream cheese, cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. 3. Stuff the Strawberries: Fill each strawberry center with the cheesecake mixture using a piping bag or a small spoon. Ensure they are generously filled. 4. Add the Topping: Mix graham cracker crumbs with a touch more cookie butter for extra flavor and moisture in a separate bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the filled strawberries, pressing lightly to stick. 5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the stuffed strawberries for about 30 minutes to firm up the filling. Optionally, drizzle with whipped cream before serving. 🍎 Nutritional Information 🍎 - Calories: 210 per serving - Carbohydrates: 18g - Proteins: 3g - Fats: 14g - Sugars: 12g 💡 Tips and Tricks 💡 - For a lighter version, consider using low-fat cream cheese or a sugar substitute. - If cookie butter isn't available, peanut butter or almond butter makes a great alternative. - The strawberries can be prepped and filled ahead of time, just add the crumb topping before serving to keep it crunchy. ⏳ Preparation time 🍰 Preparation time: 20 minutes | Chilling time: 30 minutes | Serving: 12 servings
