Ingredients:
- 18-24 large strawberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions:
- Prepare the strawberries: Slice off the stems and cut the strawberries in half lengthwise. Trim a small slice off the back of each half so they sit flat. Use a melon baller to create a small indent in each strawberry for the filling.
- Whip the cream: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (around 5 minutes).
- Mix the filling: In a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pipe the filling: Using a piping bag with a star tip, pipe the cream cheese filling into the hollowed strawberries.
- Finish: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each filled strawberry.
- Serve and enjoy!
