Ingredients:
- 18 to 24 large fresh strawberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Graham cracker crumbs or crushed digestive biscuits for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prep the Strawberries:
- Wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry.
- Slice off the green tops so each berry can stand flat.
- Using a small knife, cut an “X” into the tip of each strawberry — but don’t cut all the way through.
- Gently spread the cuts open to create space for the filling. Set aside.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined. The filling should be fluffy and smooth.
3. Fill the Strawberries:
- Spoon the filling into a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped).
- Pipe the filling into the center of each strawberry, letting it slightly overflow for a pretty “deviled” look.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs or biscuit crumbs on top for that classic cheesecake finish.
Optional Add-Ons for Extra Flavor:
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel.
- Add lemon zest or orange zest to the filling for a citrus twist.
- Place a blueberry or raspberry on top for color contrast.
- Dust with powdered sugar right before serving for a festive touch.
Pro Tips for Best Results:
- Use firm, large strawberries to hold the filling well.
- Don’t over-whip the cream or it may become grainy.
- Chill the strawberries for 30–60 minutes before serving for the best texture and taste.
