Description

Delightfully sweet and creamy, these Deviled Strawberries are a fun twist on traditional deviled appetizers. Juicy strawberry halves are hollowed out and filled with a luscious cream cheese and whipped cream mixture, then topped with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for a perfect bite-sized dessert or party treat.

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 of the strawberries and then slice each one in half. Trim a small sliver off the back of each strawberry half so they can stand upright on a serving plate. Use a small melon baller to carefully hollow out the middle of each half, creating a small cavity to hold the filling without removing too much of the fruit.
  2. Whip Cream: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 5 minutes using an electric mixer set to medium-high speed.
  3. Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and optional lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining them well but carefully to maintain the light and airy texture.
  5. Fill Strawberries: Transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or any tip you prefer. Pipe the filling generously into the hollowed-out strawberries, filling each cavity fully.
  6. Add Topping: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries to add texture and a hint of crunch.
  7. Serve: Arrange the filled strawberries on a serving dish and enjoy immediately or refrigerate for a short period before serving.

Notes

  • To make a low-carb version, substitute the granulated sugar with a low-carb sweetener and omit the graham cracker crumbs.
  • The number of strawberries needed can vary depending on their size; leftover filling can be enjoyed on its own or stored refrigerated for a short time.
