Ingredients:
20 - 25 large strawberries
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar (tip: you can make your own!)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
a few graham crackers
First thing's first, wash the strawberries and cut off their little hats.
The next step is to core them. For this all I used was a paring knife. This may seem daunting at first, but after the first three you really develop a system, and it's all down hill from there.
Next, just beat the cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar until it looks fluffy.
To fill the strawberries you can use a piping bag, or if you don't have one just snip off the corner of a ziplock baggie, fill and squeeze.
You can use another one of those little bags to crush the graham crackers in (I didn't have these, so I used a graham cracker crust). I think it's best to crush them until they're pretty fine.
Once all of your strawberries are filled (with just a tad coming out of the top), gently roll the tops in the crushed graham crackers. Then BAM! You're done...unless you feel the need to drizzle melted chocolate on them : )
These are the perfect afternoon snack! Or dessert. Or whenever you're hungry.
P.S. If you don't have powdered sugar on hand, like me, no worries this is how you make it. It's so simple you'll never want to buy powdered sugar again! All you do is blend granulated sugar with cornstarch (1 tsp. of cornstarch for every cup of sugar) until very fine and powdery. BUT, make sure that the lid for the blender is on tight, and you may want to give it a minute to settle after you turn the blender off or you'll end up with a powdered sugar kitchen!
