Ingredients
24 large Fresh Strawberries
8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tbsp Heavy Cream (optional, for lighter filling)
1/4 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs (for topping)
Instructions
- Wash and hull your strawberries. Carefully slice each strawberry in half lengthwise
- Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out a tiny bit of the strawberry flesh from the center of each half. This creates a "nest" for your cheesecake filling
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If you desire a lighter filling for your Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries, beat in the heavy cream until just combined
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off)
- Pipe the creamy cheesecake filling into the hollowed-out strawberry halves. Make a beautiful swirl or just a simple mound
- Sprinkle the tops of your Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries with graham cracker crumbs. Arrange them on a platter and serve immediately, or chill
Notes
Choose large, firm strawberries; they hold their shape better.
Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened; this prevents lumps in the filling.
Use a piping bag for a professional look; however, a Ziploc bag works perfectly fine.
Chill your finished Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries for at least 30 minutes before serving. This firms up the filling and enhances the flavors.
If preparing ahead, add graham cracker crumbs just before serving to keep them from getting soggy.
Store your Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They taste best when consumed within 1-2 days.
Reheating is not recommended for these fresh Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries. They are a chilled dessert. Always serve your Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries cold for the ultimate refreshing experience.
