Print Recipe

Delight in the refreshing taste of Sweet Lemon Cream Stuffed Strawberries, a simple yet elegant dessert perfect for summer. These strawberries are filled with a zesty lemon cream that is both sweet and tart, making them an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

  • Large fresh strawberries
  • Full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • Cold heavy cream
  • Powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
  • Fresh lemon zest
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Vanilla extract
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint, extra lemon zest, white chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Gently wash your large, fresh strawberries under cool running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Using a small paring knife or a strawberry huller, carefully remove the green leafy tops and the white core from the center of each strawberry to create a small cavity.
  3. Arrange your hollowed strawberries on a clean plate or tray, ready for stuffing.
  4. In a large, chilled mixing bowl, pour your very cold heavy cream and whip it until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  5. In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
  6. Add the powdered sugar, fresh lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat until thoroughly combined and fluffy.
  7. Gently fold in the whipped cream in three additions, maintaining the airiness of the whipped cream.
  8. Transfer the lemon cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip or use a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off.
  9. Pipe the lemon cream into the hollowed cavity of each strawberry, starting from the bottom and swirling upwards.
  10. Once all strawberries are stuffed, arrange them on a platter, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  11. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint, extra lemon zest, or white chocolate shavings if desired.
