The Best Deviled Strawberries Recipe (Made with a Cheesecake Filling) #fingerfood #partyfood #holidayrecipes #cheesecake #strawberries
These sweet cream cheese stuffed strawberries are the most delightful finger food for just about any party. They're also fun for holiday! #fingerfood #partyfood #holidayrecipes #cheesecake #strawberries
Ingredients:
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
18-24 large strawberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened)
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
- First , prep the strawberries by cutting off the stems and slicing them in half. Next , cut a small sliver off of the back of each strawberry half so that they sit up straight. Then use a small melon baller to carefully hollow out the middle (you don't need to take out much , just make a small enough indent so that the cream cheese filling doesn't slide off). *Pictorial Above *
- Then , place the softened cream cheese , sour cream , sugar , vanilla extract and lemon juice in a medium sized mixing bowl (DO NOT add the heavy whipping cream). Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Next , in a different medium sized mixing bowl , beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
- Then , fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
- Next , fill a piping bag with the cream cheese mixture (I used a star tip) , and pipe it onto each sliced strawberry.
- Finish with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
- Serve and enjoy!
NOTES:
- The number of strawberries you need to match the amount of cream cheese mixture really depends on the size of the strawberries. I bought a large container of medium sized strawberries from Costco , and still ended up with a bit of leftover cream cheese mixture.
- You CAN make the cream cheese mixture (including whipped cream) the day before. My leftovers were the perfect consistency the next day. I may or may not have been eating it with a spoon.
- The strawberries can also be cut and prepped the day before , just be sure to place them in an air tight container with a paper towel so that they don't get soggy or end up with that weird refrigerator taste.
