18-24 large strawberries

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

⅓ cup sour cream

→ Topping

# Instructions:
01 -
Cut off the stems and slice strawberries in half. Cut a small sliver off the back of each half so they sit up straight.
02 -
Use a small melon baller to carefully hollow out the middle, making a small indent so the cream cheese filling doesn't slide off.
03 -
In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
04 -
In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until smooth.
05 -
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
06 -
Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe it onto each sliced strawberry. Finish with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
