* Stuffed Strawberries: Party Perfect Dessert.
These delightful deviled strawberries offer a harmonious blend of fresh fruit and creamy indulgence. Ripe, juicy strawberries are carefully hulled and filled with a smooth, subtly sweet cream cheese mixture, then crowned with a delicate sprinkle of buttery graham cracker crumbs. The natural tartness of the strawberry beautifully complements the rich, velvety filling, while the crumbs add a pleasant textural contrast. This no-bake treat is perfect for a light dessert or an elegant appetizer.

Ingredients
- 12 large fresh strawberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Gently wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Using a small paring knife or a strawberry huller, carefully remove the green tops and a small cone-shaped portion from the center of each strawberry, creating a cavity for the filling.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off).
- Pipe the cream cheese filling into the cavity of each prepared strawberry, creating an attractive swirl on top.
- Before serving, sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the filled strawberries.
- Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes.
Notes
Choose firm, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.
For an extra touch, toast the graham cracker crumbs lightly in a dry pan before sprinkling.
These are best enjoyed fresh; the strawberries can become watery if left too long after filling.
