Ingredients

1 lb. strawberries
8 oz. vegan cream cheese (try Daiya or Tofutti!)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. strawberry jam
1/4 cup crushed animal crackers

Directions

Cut off the strawberries’ stems, then carve a hollow spot in each strawberry for the “cheesecake.”
Using an electric mixer, beat the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until nice and fluffy.
Pour in a pastry bag,* then fill each strawberry with some of the mixture.
Place the animal crackers in a sandwich bag and crush gently into crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the strawberries and voilà!

Notes

*For a DIY pastry bag, cut a hole in the bottom corner of a sandwich bag and gently pipe out the filling. If you don’t want to hollow out the strawberries, turn the “cheesecake” mixture into a creamy dip. Just submerge each strawberry in the “cheesecake” mixture, roll in the animal cracker crumbs, and enjoy!
