These Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a fun, bite-sized dessert featuring juicy strawberries filled with a creamy, sweet cheesecake filling and topped with graham cracker crumbs for that classic cheesecake touch. Perfect for parties, these are easy to make and irresistibly delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries (about 24 large strawberries)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Optional toppings: chocolate drizzle, crushed nuts, or sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries:

    • Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the green tops, and use a paring knife or melon baller to hollow out a small cavity in each strawberry.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

    • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Fill the Strawberries:

    • Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag with a star tip (or use a small spoon). Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out centers of the strawberries, letting it slightly overflow for a decorative effect.
  4. Add Toppings:

    • Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over each filled strawberry. For extra flair, drizzle with melted chocolate, or garnish with crushed nuts or sprinkles.
  5. Chill and Serve:

    • Place the filled strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set. Serve chilled for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Store filled strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, keep the filling and strawberries separate and fill just before serving.
  • Flavor Variations: Add lemon zest to the filling for a tangy twist, or try almond extract for a unique flavor.
