Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

All right I know that pinterest is old news by now. But as I sit here and obsessively pin things I realized that I had several new recipes to post. I figured even though I have been busy/lazy with my blog its never too late to post. I wanted to get the ball back rolling with an idea I found on pinterest.

I saw these before Paul's birthday and I just knew this had to be the first thing I tried from pinterest. With strawberries coming into season in the lowcountry and Paul loving cheesecake.

Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
by SugarDeby via pinterest

1 carton of strawberries
8 oz pkg softened cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 sleeve of graham crackers, crushed

Wash, cut off the top of the strawberries and then core them out. Be sure to take out enough of the core to get a healthy amount of the cheesey filling inside.
For the filling: Beat the cream cheese. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Fill the strawberries: Use a piping bag or a zippy bag with a corner cut off. Pipe them nice and full and dip them in the crushed graham crackers.

 

Mine aren't that pretty but they were a big hit at his birthday get together. We were all stuffed full of strawberries and cheesecakey filling. They might look like small bites but between a few people it was a lot of dessert!

This pin was honestly a little laborious for me. (But I was happy to do it for Paul.)

So if you haven't checked out pinterest yet or your trying to decide if its worth signing up. Do it! They are some great ideas and its an awesome way to keep all of your ideas organized. I have a whole "board" full of ideas that I have tried, that way I don't lose the information so I can try it again and again.
