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

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Cut off the stems and slice each strawberry in half. Trim a small sliver off the back of each half so they sit upright. Use a small melon baller to hollow out the middle gently, creating enough space to hold the filling without the cream slipping off.
  2. Whip Cream: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling is well incorporated and fluffy.
  5. Fill Strawberries: Transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, then pipe the filling generously into the hollowed centers of each strawberry half.
  6. Add Topping and Serve: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • For a tart flavor contrast, add fresh lemon juice, but it can be omitted for a sweeter filling.
  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best presentation and to hold the filling well.
  • The dessert is best eaten the same day as preparation to maintain strawberry freshness and filling texture.
  • If preferred, substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed nuts or shredded coconut for a different texture.
