Can I use light cream cheese instead of full-fat?

While you can, I don't recommend it. The filling won't be as stable or creamy. If you're concerned about calories, remember that each strawberry has just a small amount of filling, so the calorie difference is minimal.

My strawberries are weeping juice after being hollowed out. What should I do?

Pat them dry with a paper towel before filling. The moisture can make your filling slide off and prevent graham crackers from sticking properly.

Can I freeze these for later?

Unfortunately, these don't freeze well. The strawberries release moisture when thawed, making the filling watery and the texture unpleasant. If you're looking for delicious freezer-friendly treats, check out my Frozen Banana Bites Recipe instead.

How far in advance can I make these for a party?

For best results, prepare the components ahead of time but assemble within 3-4 hours of serving. If you must assemble further ahead, wait to add the graham cracker topping until just before serving.
