Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Gently wash the strawberries and dry them thoroughly.
Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop a small indentation into the center of each half to create space for the filling.
If needed, trim a thin slice off the back so they sit flat on a serving platter.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
If using store-bought filling:
Transfer the no-bake cheesecake filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag and snip the corner.
If making homemade filling:
Beat softened cream cheese until completely smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
Transfer filling to a piping bag.
Step 3: Fill and Garnish
Pipe cheesecake filling into each strawberry well.
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top.
Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.

Notes
Make sure strawberries are fully dry before filling to prevent slipping.For best presentation, fill strawberries the day you plan to serve them.Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.Do not freeze, as strawberries will release moisture when thawed.For a decorative look, use a star piping tip when filling.
