Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- Optional topping: Lemon zest or finely chopped nuts
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Carefully slice off the green tops and use a small spoon or melon baller to hollow out the center of each strawberry, creating a cup for the filling. Set the hollowed strawberries aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream to the cream cheese. Beat until the mixture is light and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a small spoon.
- Pipe or spoon the filling evenly into the hollowed centers of the strawberries. Do not overfill.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with lemon zest or chopped nuts.
- Refrigerate the stuffed strawberries for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to firm up slightly.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in your filling.
- You can prepare the hollowed strawberries up to 4 hours ahead of time, but wait to fill them until closer to serving.
- For a slightly tangier filling, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
