Description
These Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a light, no-bake dessert filled with creamy cheesecake filling and topped with graham cracker crumbs. Elegant, bite-sized, and easy to make, they’re perfect for parties, brunches, and spring gatherings.
Ingredients
- 12 large fresh strawberries (halved lengthwise)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies
- Optional toppings:
- Lemon zest
- Mini chocolate chips
- Melted chocolate drizzle
Instructions
-
Wash and dry the strawberries. Cut off the tops and slice each berry in half lengthwise.
-
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out a small amount of the center of each strawberry half to create room for filling.
-
In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
-
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each strawberry half.
-
Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and any optional toppings.
-
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- Use the largest, firmest strawberries for best results.
- Pipe the filling for a more elegant presentation, or spoon it in for a casual approach.
- Best served fresh the same day—do not freeze.
