How to Make Deviled Strawberries

Ingredients

• 18-24 large strawberries
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened)
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Directions

1. 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 they sit up straight. Use a small melon baller to carefully hollow out the middle. You only need to make a small indent so the cream cheese filling doesn’t slide off.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, which takes about 5 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice using an electric mixer until smooth.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
5. Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese mixture (a star tip looks nice) and pipe it onto each sliced strawberry.
6. Finish with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
7. Serve and enjoy!

How to Serve Deviled Strawberries

These deviled strawberries are great as a dessert for gatherings, brunches, or as a sweet snack. Arrange them on a platter for an eye-catching display and offer them as a refreshing option alongside heavier desserts. They are best enjoyed fresh but can also be prepared a few hours in advance.

How to Store Deviled Strawberries

To store any leftover deviled strawberries, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best consumed within 1-2 days, as the strawberries may start to lose their texture and freshness.

Tips to Make Deviled Strawberries

1. Choose large, firm strawberries to make hollowing easier.
2. Use cold tools and bowls when whipping cream for best results.
3. Try adding different flavors to the cream cheese mixture, such as chocolate or almond extract, for a unique twist.

Variation

For a twist on this recipe, you could add a layer of crushed pretzels or nuts in place of graham cracker crumbs. You can also incorporate fresh chocolate shavings or drizzle melted chocolate on top for an extra indulgent touch.

FAQs

Can I prepare these strawberries ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a few hours in advance and pipe it into the strawberries just before serving for the best freshness.

Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?
Yes, you can substitute with reduced-fat cream cheese, but the texture and richness may be slightly different.

What other fruits can I use for this recipe?
You can try this recipe with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or even bananas, though the hollowing method will vary.
