These Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that combines the fresh sweetness of strawberries with a creamy, rich cheesecake-flavored filling. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or a special treat, this recipe features fresh strawberries filled with a luscious cream cheese mixture, topped with a slight crunch of graham cracker crumbs for texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 3 lbs fresh large strawberries

Filling

  • 8 oz (1 package) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Using a small paring knife or a melon baller, carefully hollow out the core of each strawberry to create a cavity for the filling, being careful not to puncture through the base.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  3. Fill Strawberries: Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake filling, ensuring the filling is slightly mounded on top for a decorative look.
  4. Add Graham Cracker Topping: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries to add a slight crunch and enhance the cheesecake flavor.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use large strawberries to make filling easier and more visually appealing.
  • Softening the cream cheese beforehand ensures a smooth filling.
  • A chilled filling holds shape better when piped into strawberries.
  • Graham cracker crumbs can be substituted with crushed nuts for variety.
  • For quicker prep, pre-made whipped cream can be used, but homemade whipped cream is recommended for best texture.
  • Best served within 24 hours for freshness of strawberries.
