Strawberry Bombs are a delectable fusion of creamy and crunchy textures, transforming ordinary strawberries into a spectacular treat. Each juicy strawberry is hollowed and filled with a luscious cream cheese mixture, creating a burst of flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries and pat them dry. Carefully hull the strawberries with a small knife or a strawberry huller, making sure not to cut through the sides.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Strawberries: Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each strawberry with the cream cheese mixture.
- Prepare the Coating: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. If you’re using mini chocolate chips, stir them into the graham cracker mixture.
- Coat the Strawberries: Roll each filled strawberry in the graham cracker mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Chill and Serve: Place the coated strawberries on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and the coating adhere better.
