Ingredients
Scale
- 18–24 large strawberries
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 (8 oz/226 g) package cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) sour cream
- ⅔ cup (133 g) white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
- ½ cup (60 g) graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Strawberry Preparation: Slice strawberries lengthwise, trimming green tops and creating a flat base by removing a thin slice from the rounded side. Hollow out the center of each half using a melon baller to form a delicate filling reservoir.
- Cream Mixture Creation: Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining its airy texture.
- Filling and Garnishing: Transfer the cream mixture to a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe the filling into strawberry cavities, creating an elegant swirl that slightly overflows the fruit’s edge. Generously dust the tops with crushed graham crackers for a delightful crunch.
- Serving and Storage: Chill the deviled strawberries immediately or serve right away to preserve their fresh appearance and creamy consistency. The dessert offers a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and creamy flavors with a textural graham cracker accent.
Notes
- Precision Matters: Slice strawberries carefully and evenly to ensure uniform presentation and consistent filling.
- Stabilize Your Base: Trim a thin slice from the rounded side to prevent strawberries from wobbling on the serving plate.
- Gentle Folding Technique: When combining whipped cream and cream cheese mixture, use a delicate folding motion to maintain airiness and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Chill Immediately: Serve or refrigerate right after preparation to preserve the dessert’s texture, freshness, and visual appeal.
