# Zubereitung:

Thoroughly wash and gently dry the strawberries. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, keeping stems intact if desired.

Use a small knife to score a shallow triangle into the cut side of each strawberry half. With a melon baller or small spoon, carefully remove a portion of the center to create space for the filling.

Place the prepared strawberry halves onto a serving platter, spacing them evenly.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir or whip until a smooth, airy consistency is achieved.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a large tip, or a resealable plastic bag with one corner trimmed, with the prepared cream cheese mixture.
07 -
Pipe the cream cheese mixture neatly into the center cavity of each strawberry half.
08 -
Sprinkle each filled strawberry with graham cracker crumbs and assorted sprinkles. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
