Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a fresh and creamy twist on classic cheesecake. These bite-sized strawberry halves are filled with a fluffy, sweetened cream cheese filling and topped with a crunchy graham cracker crumb garnish. Perfect for parties, summer picnics, or a light dessert treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 18–24 large strawberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prep the strawberries by cutting off the stems and slicing them in half. Then, cut a small sliver off the back of each strawberry half to help them sit upright.
- Use a small melon baller to hollow out the middle of each strawberry half. You don’t need to remove much—just enough to create a small indent for the filling.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (approximately 5 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or any piping tip) with the cream cheese mixture and pipe it onto each strawberry half.
- Finish by sprinkling graham cracker crumbs on top of each filled strawberry.
Notes
- You can use a different fruit, like raspberries or blueberries, if you prefer.
- The lemon juice adds a touch of tang but is optional. You can also experiment with other citrus juices for different flavors.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to fill the strawberries.
