If this already sounds out of your league, you're wrong. This is a dessert to make when you want to impress someone, or you just really want cheesecake and don't know how to make it!
1 container strawberries (bigger is better) 1 8oz package cream cheese (room temperature) 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 graham crackers 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips Gallon size ziplock bag Remove stems from strawberries and cut the center out. Sometimes there's already a hole, but if not make a small one without destroying the berry. Put cream cheese in a bowl and use a fork to break it up a little. Add sugar and vanilla and mix really well. Cream cheese is pretty stiff so you'll have to get your muscles into it but you want it to be a workable consistency. Put graham crackers in a small bag and squeeze out all of the air. This step is important or you'll hit the bag once and it'll burst open sending graham cracker shards all over your kitchen! Seal the bag and crush the graham crackers. I use my meat hammer, but anything will work. Pour crushed crackers into a bowl for garnishing. Pour chocolate chips into a second bowl, also for garnishing. Open the gallon ziplock bag and push one corner down into a tall drinking glass. Fold the rest of the bag over the sides. Using a rubber spatula(or a spoon), load the cream cheese into the bag. Once it's all in, pull the bag out of the glass and squeeze the cheese down into the corner. Twist the rest of the bag to make sort of cream cheese balloon. Now snip the very point off with scissors. You have a piping bag!!! Squeeze the cream cheese mixture into the holes in all of the strawberries. Make sure you keep a tight twist on the bag so the cream cheese doesn't seep out the other end. You want a nice icing looking crown of cream cheese on the top of each berry. Dip each frosted berry into the graham crackers and roll around. Then dip into chocolate chips and roll around. SEE how easy that was!!!!
