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
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry to create space for the filling.
- Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, white granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and optional lemon juice until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Fill Strawberries: Using a piping bag or small spoon, carefully fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the creamy filling, ensuring they are generously filled but not overflowing.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the filled strawberries to add a slight crunch and enhance the presentation.
- Chill: Refrigerate the deviled strawberries for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best results; softer strawberries may collapse when hollowed.
- For a sweeter or less tangy filling, adjust the sugar and lemon juice to taste.
- Graham cracker crumbs add texture but can be substituted with crushed nuts or cookie crumbs if preferred.
- Serve chilled for optimal taste and texture.
- This recipe is best consumed within 24 hours as strawberries can release moisture over time.
