Instructions
Wash and dry strawberries very thoroughly. Core each berry using a paring knife, OXO huller + paring knife, or melon baller. Optionally trim a thin sliver off the bottom so they stand upright.
1½ pounds large fresh strawberries
Beat heavy cream with half the powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided, ½ cup powdered sugar, divided, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with remaining powdered sugar until completely smooth.
8 ounces full fat brick cream cheese,
Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until just combined.
Spoon filling into a zip-top bag, snip the corner, and pipe into each strawberry. Add topping of choice.
½ cup topping of choice (crushed graham crackers, cookie crumbs, chopped roasted salted almonds, mini chocolate chips, mini 'Nilla wafers, etc.)
Serve immediately or refrigerate up to a few hours. Add crunch toppings right before serving.
Notes
Dry strawberries thoroughly after washing. Wet berries will give you a watery filling
Room temperature cream cheese is essential for a smooth, lump-free filling
Fold the whipped cream in gently to keep the filling light and airy
Prep components ahead; assemble close to serving time
Don't hollow the berries too deep. The walls need to stay thick enough to hold together when filled
Crunchy toppings (Nilla wafers, graham crackers, cookie crumbs) should be added right before serving
