Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 18–24 large strawberries
Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Topping
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Cut off the stems from the strawberries and slice each strawberry in half. Then, cut a small sliver off the back of each half so they sit upright. Using a small melon baller, carefully hollow out the center just enough to create an indent for the filling without compromising the strawberry’s shape.
- Whip Cream: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 5 minutes. This will provide a light, airy texture to the filling.
- Mix Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, ensuring the filling remains light and fluffy.
- Pipe the Filling: Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or any tip of your choice) with the cream cheese mixture. Pipe the filling into each hollowed strawberry half, creating an attractive, generous dollop.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Arrange the deviled strawberries on a serving plate and enjoy immediately or chill briefly before serving for a cool, refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Use firm, ripe strawberries for the best presentation and flavor.
- The lemon juice is optional but adds a nice tang that balances the sweetness.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a small spoon to fill the strawberries.
- These can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated, but fill just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure graham cracker crumbs are gluten-free or omit them.
