Ingredients
  

For the Strawberries
  • 18-24 large strawberries choose the ripest you can find for maximum sweetness.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream ensures a luscious, fluffy texture when whipped.
  • 1 package cream cheese 8 oz, softened to mix smoothly with other ingredients.
  • cup sour cream adds a tangy flavor that complements the sweetness.
  • cup granulated white sugar adjust to taste if you prefer less sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor with its warm, sweet aroma.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice optional, brightens the filling and balances the richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing off the strawberry stems and cutting each berry in half lengthwise.
  2. Trim a thin slice from the back of each half so they sit flat on a plate.
  3. Use a small melon baller or spoon to hollow out a small cavity in the center of each strawberry half.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which should take about 5 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and optional lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  7. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  8. Pipe the cheesecake filling into the hollowed strawberries.
  9. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top.
  10. Chill the deviled strawberries until ready to serve.
