Description

Delightful deviled strawberries featuring fresh strawberries filled with a creamy no-bake cheesecake mixture and topped with crunchy graham cracker crumbs. This bite-sized treat is perfect for parties, snacks, or a refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 3 lbs strawberries

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (from 2 graham cracker sheets)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash all the strawberries thoroughly and dry them completely to ensure the filling adheres well. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, then carefully slice off the hump on the back of each half so that the strawberries can lay flat. Arrange them on a baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Whip the Cream: Add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture. Whip the combined ingredients with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture slightly thickens, about 2 minutes, creating a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Fill the Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed side of each strawberry half evenly and generously.
  5. Add the Topping: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries to add a crunchy contrast and enhance the cheesecake flavor. Serve immediately or chill before serving for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Deviled strawberries offer a perfectly portioned, no-bake dessert that combines fresh fruit with rich cheesecake flavors.
  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before filling to prevent filling from sliding off.
  • For variation, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for extra flavor.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and chilled for better flavor and texture.
