Ingredients

• 24 strawberries, cleaned and hulled.
• Two 8 oz. packages softened cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preparing the cleaned and hulled strawberries: Trim off the tip of the strawberry so it stands up in a little muffin liner when set on its top. Use a melon baller to carve out the strawberry hull, plus a little extra, making room for the cheesecake filling. Chill the strawberries until just before party time or they will get soggy.
2. Preparing the filling: Use a mixer to thoroughly blend the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice.
3. Putting it together: Use a piping bag (or trim the tip off of a plastic/freezer bag) to fill the strawberries. Leave it plain or get creative with toppings (cookie, candy, fruit, etc)!
