Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1824 large strawberries
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Prepare the strawberries by gently washing and thoroughly drying them. Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy top and a small cone of flesh, creating a cavity without piercing through the bottom. Slice a thin sliver from the bottom of each strawberry for stability.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sour cream with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Gradually add white granulated sugar while beating until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Flavorings: Add vanilla extract and optional lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture and beat until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Whip Cream: In a separate clean bowl, whip heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in additions until just combined, creating a light and airy filling.
  5. Fill Strawberries: Spoon the cheesecake filling generously into the prepared strawberry cavities. For a decorative touch, use a piping bag with a star tip.
  6. Add Graham Cracker Topping & Chill: Gently press the top of each filled strawberry into graham cracker crumbs to coat, or sprinkle crumbs over the top. Arrange on a serving platter and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative filling presentation.
  • Chilling the filled strawberries for 30 minutes helps the filling set and enhances flavor.
