Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

If you have never been to a farmer's market, I highly recommend it.  This past weekend I headed over to my local farmer's market and what a wonderful thing it was.  Not only do they have some of the best fruits and vegetables, they also sell homemade jams, desserts, gourmet popsicles, and even pet items!  The best part of it all was dogs were allowed, so my sweet girl Carly had a blast.  I am literally obsessed with all of the great items that I bought.  Of course, one of those items being delicious, succulent strawberries!

When I got home from the farmer's market, I knew the strawberries needed to be used right away.  They were so ripe and sweet that I didn't want any to go to waste.  Instead of chopping them up or throwing them in some batter, I wanted to make sure these strawberries maintained form and still carried their sweetness.  What better way than to fill the strawberries with a cream cheese mousse?  These little guys are the perfect bite size dessert and taste just like a mini strawberry cheesecake (in less than 10 minutes)!

Here are some pictures of some of the great things I purchased:

20 strawberries, tops cut off and hulled
4 oz softened cream cheese
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup cool whip
1/8 cup graham cracker crumbs


With a handheld mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.  Beat in powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until combined.  Fold in the cool whip.

Take the hulled out strawberries and pipe with the cream cheese mixture.  Then, dip the top in graham cracker crumbs.

Place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until set.

Enjoy!:)
