1. Prepare the Strawberries:

1. Wash strawberries under cold water and pat them dry completely with a paper towel.
2. Hull each strawberry carefully using a small knife, creating a cavity for the cheesecake filling. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
3. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each strawberry cavity. Chill the filled strawberries for 1 hour to set.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:

1. Melt the dark chocolate and vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir continuously until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Dip each filled strawberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring the cheesecake filling stays intact. Let any excess chocolate drip off.

4. Decorate and Set:

1. Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Optionally, drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with crushed graham crackers for added decoration.
3. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

1. Arrange the strawberries on a serving platter and serve chilled. Perfect for parties, romantic dinners, or as a sweet treat for yourself!
