Deviled Strawberries Recipe

Introduction

Deviled Strawberries offer a delightful twist on the classic deviled treat—combining sweet, juicy strawberries with a creamy, luscious filling. This elegant yet simple dessert is perfect for parties or a refreshing summer snack.

Ingredients

• 18-24 large strawberries
• 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)
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prep the strawberries by removing the stems and slicing each one in half. Trim a small sliver from the back of each half so they can stand upright. Using a small melon baller, carefully hollow out the center enough to hold the filling without it sliding off.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
4. Step 4: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
5. Step 5: Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a plastic bag with a corner snipped) with the cream cheese filling. Pipe the mixture into the hollowed-out centers of each strawberry half.
6. Step 6: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each filled strawberry for a delightful crunch.
7. Step 7: Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and creamy treat!

Tips & Variations

• For a low-carb version, substitute the sugar with a low-carb sweetener and leave out the graham cracker crumbs.
• If you have leftover filling, don’t waste it—it makes a delicious snack on its own or spread on crackers.

Storage

Store deviled strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The strawberries may release some juice, so it’s best to consume them the same day. Gently re-pipe any filling if needed before serving. Avoid freezing as the texture of the berries will degrade.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare deviled strawberries ahead of time?

It’s best to prepare and fill the strawberries shortly before serving to keep them fresh and prevent them from becoming soggy. You can prep the filling and strawberries separately up to a day in advance.

Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries?

Yes, small fruits like hollowed raspberries or blackberries can be used, but strawberries provide a perfect balance of sweetness and texture for this recipe.

Instructions

1. Prepare the strawberries: Cut off the stems from the strawberries and slice each strawberry in half. Next, carefully cut a small sliver off the back of each strawberry half so they can sit upright on a platter. Using a small melon baller, gently hollow out a small indent in the middle of each strawberry half. This hollow will hold the creamy filling and prevent it from sliding off.
2. Whip the cream: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This will take approximately five minutes. Set aside once done.
3. Make the cream cheese filling: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice (if using). Mix these ingredients thoroughly using an electric mixer until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
4. Combine whipped cream and cream cheese mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated. Be careful to maintain as much volume as possible to keep the filling light and fluffy.
5. Pipe the filling onto strawberries: Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with the cream cheese filling. Pipe a generous amount onto the hollowed section of each strawberry half, creating an attractive swirl or dollop of the creamy mixture.
6. Add the topping: Sprinkle the filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs to add a subtle crunchy texture and complement the creamy filling and fresh fruit.
7. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the deviled strawberries on a serving dish and serve immediately for best texture and freshness. These treats are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated briefly before serving.

Notes

• To make this recipe low carb, substitute the white sugar with a preferred low carb sweetener and omit the graham cracker crumbs topping.
• The quantity of strawberries needed can vary depending on their size. If you find you have leftover cream cheese filling, enjoy it as a delicious dip or snack.
• Use a piping bag with a star tip to create visually appealing swirls on the strawberries, but any piping tip or even a spoon will work.
• For a citrusy twist, the lemon juice is optional but adds a nice brightness to the filling.
