For the Strawberries
- 12 large firm strawberries
For the Lemon Cream
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation Steps
Gently wash all your strawberries under cool running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy top and a small portion of the white core to create a cavity.
In a large mixing bowl, pour your cold heavy cream and whip it until stiff peaks form.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
Transfer the lemon cream into a piping bag and fill each hollowed strawberry generously with the cream.
Arrange the filled strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of extra lemon zest for a citrusy pop.
