Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 12 large strawberries

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Optional: extra graham cracker crumbs and mini chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash and Dry Strawberries: Begin by washing the strawberries under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Gently pat them dry using a paper towel to ensure they are completely dry before proceeding.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: Carefully slice the top off each strawberry, then hollow out the inner flesh using a small spoon or a strawberry corer. Set aside the hollowed strawberries. You can reserve the removed strawberry flesh for another use, like smoothies or jams.
  3. Mix the Cheesecake Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is smooth, creamy, and well incorporated.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape firmly when the beaters are removed.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to not deflate the whipped cream, resulting in a light and airy cheesecake filling.
  6. Fill Strawberries: Using a piping bag or a small spoon, carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the creamy cheesecake filling. Fill them generously but without overflowing.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle a small amount of graham cracker crumbs on top of the filled strawberries to add texture and a complementary flavor. Optionally, add mini chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness and decoration.
  8. Chill: Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and helps the filling to firm up slightly.
  9. Serve: Serve the cheesecake deviled strawberries chilled. Enjoy these delicious bite-sized desserts as a refreshing treat or party appetizer.

Notes

  • Use large, fresh strawberries for better presentation and easier hollowing.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • Reserving the strawberry flesh prevents waste and can be used in smoothies or sauces.
  • Folding in whipped cream gently is key to maintaining a light texture.
  • For a flavored twist, add a bit of lemon zest or cinnamon to the filling.
  • These strawberries are best served the same day for freshness, but can be refrigerated up to 24 hours.
  • Make sure to chill the strawberries to let the filling set properly before serving.
