How to Make Deviled Strawberries

Prep the Strawberries (10 minutes): Start by rinsing your strawberries well. Cut off the stems and slice the berries in half lengthwise. Then, take a small sliver off the back of each half, this keeps them from tipping! Using a small melon baller, carefully hollow out a little bit of the middle of each strawberry half. You don’t need to scoop out too much, just enough to fit in the creamy goodness!
Whip the Cream (5 minutes): In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat it until stiff peaks form, this should take about 5 minutes. The sound is so satisfying, and honestly, there’s just something about fresh whipped cream that feels indulgent!
Mix the Cream Cheese Filling (5 minutes): In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. Grab your electric mixer again for this step, no one wants lumpy cream cheese in this creamy filling!
Fold It Together (3 minutes): Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. You want to do this gently, just until they are combined, no one likes a sad, deflated whipped cream!
Fill the Strawberries (5 minutes): Now comes the fun part! Fill a piping bag with your cheesecake mixture (I like to use a star tip for a fancy touch), and pipe it into each hollowed strawberry half. Talk about a crowd-pleaser!
Top With Crumbs: Finish each berry with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that crunch?
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange your Deviled Strawberries on a platter and let them chill in the fridge until it’s time to dig in!

These little beauties are delightful all by themselves, but they also pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. For some added flair, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or add a drizzle of caramel!

Storage

If you happen to have any leftovers (which I doubt), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Be aware that the strawberries can become a bit soggy, but they still taste fantastic!

Reheating Instructions

You don’t really need to reheat these babies, as they’re best enjoyed chilled. But if you’re feeling spontaneous, you can pop them in the microwave for a quick, warm dessert, just for a few seconds until they soften slightly!

Freezer-Friendly?

While I love diving into these fresh, I wouldn’t recommend freezing them, as the texture can change once thawed. Fresh strawberries just taste better!
