So i have seen a few recipes for cheesecake filled strawberries so i decided to try them out and they were such a good little treat!
You need:
-strawberries (they kind of have to be a decent-large size because you will be cutting the middles out)
-half of an 8oz brick of neufchatel cheese
-3 tbsp of powdered sugar
-2-3 drops vanilla extract
-about 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

So start by cutting the tops and bottoms off the strawberries (so that they can stand up) and cut out the middle making a hole for the filling, being really careful not to cut through the bottom.
Then, while the strawberries are drying out a little, mix neufchatel cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla together.
Take the cream cheese filling and with a spoon scoop/press it into each strawberry (which is usually about a half-3/4 of a tbsp i'd say).
Finally, take the filled end of the strawberry and dip it into graham cracker crumbs, just enough to coat the tops.
And thats it!! ....now for the pics!

here's what they look like when you scrape out the middle:

and when filled:

so, breaking it down, each strawberry has around 15 cals, and the filling is approx 8 cals and the graham crackers are minimal, around 2-3... so all together approximately 25 cals (give or take a few depending on the size of the strawberry and how much filling will fit)
