I'm sad to say that the end of summer is upon us. My mom is back in Italy, and Michael is leaving tonight. We are all getting back into our fall routine. For a sweet send off, I made a delicious no-bake summer dessert, Cheesecake Filled Strawberries. I've seen this dessert on the internet many times and have always wanted to try it. I love strawberries and I LOVE cheesecake, there isn't a better combo that I can think of.
The recipe is simple; just hollow out a bunch of strawberries and whip up the cheesecake filling which is made of softened cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract. THAT's it! I used a pipping bag to squeeze the cheesecake filling into the strawberries, which made the process quick and easy [and of course made them look really pretty]. Once each strawberry was filled, the last step was to dip the top in graham cracker crumbs because what's a cheesecake without a graham cracker "crust?"

I stored these in the fridge until we were ready to devoure them. I made a large plate of these and they were gone the same day I made them! I guess next time I should double the recipe!
Not only did this dessert look beautiful, it was absolutely delicious. I would say that is a success!

| YUM! |
Stay tuned until next time :)
