Ingredients

  • 24 large strawberries cut in half
  • 8 ounces (225g) 1 package cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cup (360g) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

To Make From Scratch

  • Beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla in a medium sized mixing bowl using an electric mixer, until combined and smooth. You can also do this in a stand mixer.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, then add into a piping bag with your preferred nozzle. My kids prefer the star tip.
  • Slice strawberries in half and place on a plate. If strawberries don't sit straight, you can slice a little bit of the back to position them.
  • Pipe the cream cheese mixture onto the sliced strawberry halves.
  • Sprinkle on some shortbread crumbs or graham cracker crumbs, then serve the filled strawberries immediately.

To Make With Store-bought Ingredients

  • Slice strawberries in half and place on a plate. If strawberries don't sit straight, you can slice a little bit of the back to position them.
  • Spoon or pipe your favorite ready-made filling (cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, Nutella) onto the sliced strawberry halves.
  • Sprinkle on shortbread cookie crumbs or graham cracker crumbs, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Only use the best strawberries for this - and frozen strawberries will not work for this deviled strawberries recipe.
  • If you prefer, you can carefully hollow out the strawberries and make a little hole for the filling to sit in. Use a small melon baller or knife.
  • Use large strawberries if you can, as each strawberry half is easier to handle if bigger.
  • To stop berries rolling around, you can slice the back of the strawberries so they sit flat on the plate.
  • Storage – these can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but they are best fresh so we recommend making them just before serving.
  • There are 9 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
