Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Need something to bring to that BBQ you have this weekend? These sound delish!

Being a holiday weekend, most of you are heading to, or hosting BBQs or parties.  These look like the perfect thing to bring with you.  I will be honest...I havent tried them yet...so if they suck, I appologize; but they look soooo delish, I'm sure they are great.  Im planning to give them a try this weekend myself.  I just wanted to share in case you could use an idea for this weekend.

1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already. Prep all of the strawberries and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.
3. Once strawberries are filled, sprinkle or dip the tops with graham cracker crumbs. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.
