½ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems, slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop out a small portion of the center to create space for the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined and creamy.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This keeps the filling light and fluffy.
Step 4: Combine the Filling
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Fill and Finish
Pipe or spoon the cheesecake mixture into each strawberry half. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and add optional toppings if desired.
