Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, rinsed and patted dry
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Make the filling: Add the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is thick, smooth, and fully combined.
- Hollow the strawberries: Use a small paring knife or strawberry huller to remove the tops and centers of the strawberries, keeping the sides sturdy enough to hold filling.
- Fill the berries: Spoon the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or zip top bag with one corner snipped. Pipe the filling into each strawberry until slightly mounded on top.
- Add the crumbs: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries right before serving.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate until ready to serve so the filling stays firm and the berries taste fresh.
Notes
- For the smoothest filling, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- Pat the strawberries very dry after rinsing so the filling does not slide out.
- For best texture, fill the strawberries within 5 hours of serving.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and discard any that sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
