Delicious strawberry halves filled with whipped cream cheese mixture and topped with graham cracker crumbs.
# Ingredients:
01 -
18–24 large strawberries
02 -
1 cup heavy whipping cream
03 -
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
04 -
1/3 cup sour cream
05 -
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
08 -
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cut off the stems of the strawberries and slice them in half. Cut a small sliver off the back of each strawberry half so they can sit upright.
02 -
Using a small melon baller, carefully hollow out the middle of each strawberry half to create a small indent for the filling.
03 -
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
04 -
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
05 -
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
06 -
Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the filling into each strawberry half.
07 -
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Select large, firm strawberries for stability.
02 -
Chill before serving for best results.
03 -
Experiment with flavors by adding chocolate, herbs, or spices.
