Ingredients
  

1 pound large strawberries, hulled with a small cavity carved out

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries:

    - Rinse the strawberries gently under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Using a small paring knife or a strawberry corer, carefully hull each strawberry and create a small cavity for the filling.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling:

        - In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing until everything is well blended and the mixture is silky.

          Fill the Strawberries:

            - Using a piping bag or a small spoon, carefully fill each strawberry with the cheesecake mixture, ensuring they are generously filled but not overflowing.

              Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

                - In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are uniformly coated and achieve a sandy texture.

                  Coat the Cheesecake Filling:

                    - Gently roll each filled strawberry in the graham cracker mixture, making sure the cheesecake filling is lightly coated to add a delightful crunch to each bite.

                      Chill the Strawberries:

                        - Arrange the coated strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the strawberries to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm to the touch.

                          Optional Chocolate Drizzle:

                            - If you choose to incorporate chocolate, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals until fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen strawberries for a sweet finishing touch.

                              Serve:

                                - Once the strawberries are ready, remove them from the freezer and allow to sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Optionally, top each strawberry with a dollop of whipped cream before serving. Enjoy your refreshing and indulgent frozen cheesecake stuffed strawberries!
