Prepare the Strawberries

1. Wash and Dry: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Hollow Out the Center: Using a small paring knife or a melon baller, remove the green tops and scoop out the inside of each strawberry to create a hollow space for the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

3. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until well combined.
5. Optional Sweetener: If you prefer a sweeter filling, add honey or maple syrup and mix until smooth.

Fill the Strawberries

6. Pipe or Spoon the Filling: Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each hollowed-out strawberry. Alternatively, use a small spoon to fill them.

Add the Final Touches

7. Sprinkle with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Lightly sprinkle the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs for a classic cheesecake finish.
8. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the bites for at least 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and firm up the filling.
