Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 12 medium to large strawberries
Filling
- 12 oz whipped cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Garnishes
- 1 tbsp graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tbsp sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Using a sharp paring knife, slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, keeping the stems attached for presentation.
- Score Strawberries: Lightly cut a triangle shape into the center of each strawberry half using the paring knife to create space for the filling.
- Remove Core: Gently scoop out a small portion from the center of each strawberry half using a small spoon or melon baller to make room for the filling.
- Drain Strawberries: Place the prepared strawberry halves cut side down on paper towels and let them drain for a couple of minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Arrange on Platter: Place the strawberry halves upright on a deviled egg platter or serving dish, ready for filling.
- Make Filling: In a medium or large bowl, thoroughly mix whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large tip or use a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off.
- Fill Strawberries: Pipe the cream cheese filling into the center cavity of each strawberry half until well filled.
- Garnish: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs and colorful sprinkles on top of each filled strawberry for added flavor and decoration.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and creamy texture of these deviled strawberries.
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before filling to prevent sogginess.
- For a tangier filling, add a teaspoon of lemon juice along with the zest.
- Use chilled whipped cream cheese for easier mixing and piping.
- These can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated, but garnish just before serving.
- Substitute sprinkles and crumbs with finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut for variety.
