For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For Toppings (Optional):

How to Make Deviled Strawberries

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

  1. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
  2. Using a paring knife, slice off the stems to create a flat base so the strawberries can stand upright.
  3. Carefully cut a deep X in the top of each strawberry, but don’t cut all the way through.
  4. Gently open up the strawberry slightly to create space for the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the heavy cream, whipping until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and pipeable.

Step 3: Fill the Strawberries

  1. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off).
  2. Pipe the filling into each prepared strawberry, swirling as you go for a decorative touch.

Step 4: Add Toppings

  1. Sprinkle the filled strawberries with crushed graham crackers, mini chocolate chips, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
  2. Optionally, drizzle melted chocolate over the tops for an extra indulgent touch.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

  1. Arrange the strawberries on a serving platter.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  3. Serve chilled and enjoy!
