Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. You want to cut just enough to make the hat with.
Clean out the whole strawberry with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already. Prep all of the strawberries and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.
Once strawberries are filled, top with the ‘hats.’ Decorate according to photos or your own imagination.
If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving. Serve on decorative plate with sugar “snow”.
