  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 16 to 18 servings

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 16 to 18 medium to large strawberries (washed and patted dry)

Brown Butter Graham Cracker Crust

  • 2 ounces graham crackers
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (sifted)

Instructions

  1. Hollow Strawberries: Carefully hollow out the strawberries using a small spoon or paring knife, removing the core while keeping the berry intact. Set the hollowed strawberries aside on a plate or tray.
  2. Prepare Graham Cracker Crumbs: In the bowl of a mini food processor, break up the graham crackers by pulsing until you achieve fine crumbs. Transfer these crumbs to a mixing bowl and add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to combine the dry ingredients.
  3. Make Brown Butter Crumbs: Melt the salted butter in a small skillet over medium to medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Cook until the butter is fragrant and golden brown, careful not to burn it. Immediately remove from heat and stir in the prepared graham cracker crumb mixture to combine the brown butter flavor and spices.
  4. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sifted powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag, snipping off a corner if not using a piping tip.
  5. Fill Strawberries: Pipe the cheesecake filling into each hollowed strawberry, filling them generously. After filling all strawberries once, go back and add more filling where needed to ensure they are nicely plump.
  6. Add Topping: Finally, sprinkle the brown butter graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries evenly to add a crunchy, nutty finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to achieve a smooth filling.
  • You can prepare the graham cracker crumbs ahead and store them in an airtight container.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, place graham crackers in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • Store filled strawberries in the refrigerator and serve chilled.
