Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 large strawberries
- 1 (8-ounces) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
Filling Components:
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 (3-ounces) packet strawberry gelatin mix
Topping and Crust Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 pack Golden Oreos, crushed
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries by trimming off tops and delicately excavating centers using a small spoon, maintaining a thin wall around edges to preserve structural integrity.
- Create silky cheesecake filling by whipping cream cheese until completely smooth, then incorporating whipping cream, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and optional lemon juice until achieving a luxurious, velvety consistency.
- Craft crunchy crust mixture by thoroughly blending graham cracker crumbs, crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, and strawberry gelatin mix until evenly coated and well-integrated.
- Carefully pipe or spoon generous amounts of cheesecake filling into each hollowed strawberry, ensuring complete coverage and smooth presentation.
- Enhance texture by generously sprinkling prepared crust mixture across filled strawberries, creating a delightful crumbly topping.
- Garnish with crushed freeze-dried strawberries to intensify fruity flavor profile and add visual appeal.
- Refrigerate assembled strawberries for minimum 30 minutes at 40°F to allow filling to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled, presenting these elegant, bite-sized dessert gems directly from refrigerator for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are fresh and firm to maintain structural integrity when hollowing out the centers.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, lump-free filling that blends effortlessly.
- Opt for freeze-dried strawberry powder as a gluten-free alternative to gelatin mix for decoration and flavor enhancement.
- Experiment with alternative crusts like crushed nuts or gluten-free cookies to accommodate dietary restrictions and add unique textures.
