Ingredients

18–24 large strawberries 🍓
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
Optional toppings: graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, or crushed Oreos

Instructions

Prep the strawberries: Rinse and dry the strawberries. Slice each one in half lengthwise and use a small spoon or melon baller to gently scoop out a bit of the center to make space for the filling. Set aside.
Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
Pipe the filling: Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip. Pipe the cheesecake filling into each strawberry half, like you would with deviled eggs.
Garnish (optional): Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, or crushed cookies for extra flavor and presentation.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed cold!
