Description
Cheesecake deviled strawberries are a delightful no-bake dessert featuring fresh strawberries filled with a creamy cheesecake mixture. These elegant, bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, brunches, or romantic occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Fresh mint leaves or extra crumbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the strawberries. Slice off the stems so they can sit flat, then cut an ‘X’ into the pointed end of each strawberry, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip.
- Gently open each strawberry slightly and pipe the cheesecake filling into the center.
- Sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
- Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- For variety, add a bit of lemon zest or almond extract to the filling.
- Use a small melon baller to scoop out a bit of the strawberry center if more room is needed for filling.
- Best served the same day for optimal freshness and texture.
