Deviled Strawberries are a delightful twist on the traditional deviled eggs concept, transforming fresh strawberries into bite-sized, creamy treats perfect for parties or a sweet snack. Hollowed strawberries are filled with a luscious blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and whipped cream, sweetened with sugar and enhanced with vanilla and lemon juice, then topped with crunchy graham cracker crumbs for texture and flavor contrast.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 18–24 large strawberries

Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Using a small paring knife or a melon baller, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry, removing most of the core but leaving enough flesh to keep the strawberry intact and stable.
  2. Make the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, white sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice if using. Beat the mixture together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  4. Combine the filling and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, being careful to retain as much air as possible for a light and fluffy texture.
  5. Fill the strawberries: Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip or a small spoon, carefully fill the hollowed strawberries with the creamy filling, mounding it slightly above the edge of the strawberry for a pretty presentation.
  6. Add the topping: Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs generously over the filled strawberries, pressing slightly to help them stick to the filling.
  7. Chill before serving: Place the deviled strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and for the flavors to meld. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Choose large, firm strawberries for easy hollowing and stability.
  • Do not hollow the strawberries too much to avoid them falling apart when filled.
  • You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate it for easier assembly.
  • If you don’t have graham crackers, crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers work as alternatives for the topping.
  • For a tangier flavor, increase the lemon juice slightly.
  • These treats are best consumed within a day of preparation to maintain freshness.
