Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Tomorrow is June 1st and for all strawberry lovers this is the season of the STRAWBERRY.  Those sweet sometimes tart delectable pieces of fruit!!  I share with you here a very YUMMY way to serve strawberries that look fancy and look like you went to a lot of work (we won't tell your guests how easy it was)!!

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

1 package of Plain or Tropical Cheesecake from Collyott Farms (http://www.collyottfarms.com/)
Strawberries (fresh picked is best)
To make the Cheesecake Mix you will need:
8 oz. Cool Whip
8 oz. Cream Cheese

Make Cheesecake according to package directions.  Set Cheesecake in fridge.  Wash strawberries, and cut the tops off - then take a knife and slice them in 2 ways making a cross or plus sign - do not slice all the way through just enough so you can open them up.  If you wish them to stand you may take a tiny tip off the bottom to make them flat.  Line them up on your serving platter.  Then take the Cheesecake mixture and spoon into a small ziplock bag.  Cut a tiny piece off at the corner and squeeze the cheesecake into the strawberries.  Make sure to save some for your guests!!!!
