- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
- Cut off the stems of the strawberries and slice each in half lengthwise.
- Cut a small sliver off the back of each strawberry half so they sit upright.
- Use a small melon baller or knife to hollow out a small indent in the center of each strawberry.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Assemble the Strawberries
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe the filling onto each prepared strawberry half.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top for a classic cheesecake finish.
Step 4: Serve
- Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving for best results.
Notes
- Strawberry Selection: Choose large, firm strawberries for better stability.
- Customization: Add a drizzle of chocolate, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even some chopped nuts for variety.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated and serve within 1 day for optimal freshness.
