Ingredients
  

12 large fresh strawberries

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry. Cut the tops off and scoop out a small portion of the inside using a small melon baller or spoon, creating a hollow cavity. Set aside.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

      Fill the Strawberries: Using a piping bag or a small spoon, carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture, generously filling them to the top.

        Garnish: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of the filled strawberries for that classic cheesecake crunch. If desired, you can also add a dollop of whipped cream and a bit of lemon zest for extra flavor and decoration.

          Chill: Place the filled strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and get cool.

            Serve: Once chilled, serve your Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries as a delightful appetizer or dessert, and enjoy this sweet twist on a classic!
