Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    24 fresh strawberries (1 1/2 to 2 lbs, depending on how much you fill them)
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
    1/2 cup powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Preparation
    Cut the stems from the strawberries, so the strawberries can sit cut-side down.
    Cut a deep \"X\" from the tip down, being careful not to cut all the way through.
    Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with a hand mixer until nice and fluffy.
    Gently open up each strawberry and pipe the filling inside using a pastry bag or zip-top bag with a star piping tip. Don't have a pastry bag or piping tip? Just cut off the corner of a zip-top bag and squeeze the cheesecake filling inside the strawberries that way.
    Top each filled strawberry with a blueberry. These are best served after the strawberries have been chilled for at least an hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days depending on how firm/soft the strawberries are.
