Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Slice each one in half lengthwise.
- Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out a small cavity in each half to make space for the filling.
- Arrange them on a serving tray.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until light and fluffy, avoiding over-mixing.
Assembly
- Spoon the filling into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner cut off.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling neatly into each strawberry cavity.
- Sprinkle the tops with crushed graham crackers and add mini chocolate chips or a tiny mint leaf on top if desired.
Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve cold on a pretty platter.
Notes
For a low-sugar version, use cream cheese and whipped cream alternatives with no added sugar. Drizzling melted chocolate on top can also add an extra-decadent touch.
