Description
Sweet & Tangy Lemon Cream Stuffed Strawberries are a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with a tangy lemon cream filling.
Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries
- Full-Fat Cream Cheese
- Heavy Cream (or Heavy Whipping Cream)
- Powdered Sugar (Confectioners’ Sugar)
- Fresh Lemon Zest
- Fresh Lemon Juice
- Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Gently wash the strawberries under cool running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Remove the green leafy tops and a small cone-shaped portion of the strawberry to create a cavity.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened full-fat cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate chilled mixing bowl, pour in very cold heavy cream. Whip on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until firm peaks form.
- Gently add one-third of the whipped cream into the lemon cream cheese mixture and fold until combined. Add the remaining whipped cream and continue to fold gently until no streaks remain.
- Transfer the lemon cream filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the filling into the hollowed-out strawberries.
- Arrange the filled strawberries on a serving platter and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra lemon zest, powdered sugar, or a fresh mint leaf.
