Ingredients
Scale
- 25 large strawberries
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) sour cream
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsps (15–30 mL) heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup (40 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 sheet graham cracker
Instructions
- Strawberry Preparation: Meticulously remove stems and hull each strawberry, trimming the base to establish a stable foundation for filling. Thoroughly blot dry with paper towels to eliminate excess moisture.
- Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until achieving a luxuriously smooth, velvety texture that promises a decadent taste experience.
- Filling Technique: Transfer the silky cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or zip-lock bag, strategically cutting a small corner. Delicately pipe the filling into each hollowed strawberry, ensuring a complete yet precise fill without spillage.
- Presentation and Garnishing: Artfully arrange the filled strawberries on a parchment-lined surface. Elevate the visual and textural appeal by sprinkling mini chocolate chips, scattering crushed graham cracker fragments, or adding a graceful dollop of whipped cream as a final flourish.
Notes
- Prep Strawberries Perfectly: Remove stems and hull carefully, creating a flat base for stable filling placement to prevent tipping or wobbling.
- Dry Thoroughly: Use paper towels to absorb excess moisture, ensuring the cream cheese filling adheres smoothly and prevents potential sogginess.
- Pipe Like a Pro: Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with a corner snipped for precise, elegant filling distribution without messy overflow.
- Customize Creatively: Experiment with garnish options like chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, or whipped cream to elevate visual and taste experience.
