Cheesecake deviled strawberries

Ingredients

18-24 large strawberries

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 (8 ounce) package of 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

Directions

1. Prep the strawberries by cutting off the stems and slicing them in half. Cut a small sliver off the back of each half so they sit up straight.

2. Use a small melon baller to hollow out the middle of each strawberry half, making enough of an indent for the cream cheese filling.

3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until smooth.

5. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.

6. Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese mixture (using a star tip if desired) and pipe it onto each sliced strawberry.

7. Finish by sprinkling graham cracker crumbs over the top of each filled strawberry.
