Cheesecake Strawberries


I received this Weight Watchers-friendly dessert recipe from a friend a while back and everyone who has tried them LOVES them; even my uber-picky husband who detests cream cheese. This is a way easy recipe that will make people think you're super gourmet. :)



Ingredients:

8 oz tub of whipped cream cheese
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
1 qt strawberries
graham cracker crumbs (approx 4 graham crackers, crushed)

In a small mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and creamy; set aside.
Using a paring knife, hollow out the top of each strawberry (about 3/4 in.).
Gently fill each strawberry with cream cheese mixture using a teaspoon (each strawberry should hold about 1 tsp).
Place strawberries on a cookie sheet after filling.
Once all of the strawberries are filled, dip the top (cream cheese part) of each strawberry into the graham cracker crumbs and place back on the cookie sheet.
Place the cookie sheet into the refrigerator and let chill for a few hours or overnight.
Yields 44 strawberries
