🍓 Ingredients:
- 18–24 large fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
🧁 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Strawberries
Gently rinse your strawberries, pat them dry, and remove the stems. Cut each berry in half lengthwise. With a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out a bit of the center from each half to make space for the filling. Place the strawberry halves on a platter, hollow side up.
2️⃣ Whip the Cream
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling
In another bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth and creamy. No lumps! Then gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined and fluffy.
4️⃣ Fill the Strawberries
Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off). Pipe a generous swirl of filling into each strawberry half.
5️⃣ Chill & Serve
Refrigerate the deviled strawberries for at least 30 minutes before serving — this helps the filling set and the flavors meld.
🌟 Optional Toppings:
Take them to the next level with:
- Crushed graham crackers (for that classic cheesecake crust crunch)
- Shaved chocolate
- A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce
- A mint leaf for color
- A dusting of powdered sugar
