Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries – Instructions

1. Prep the Strawberries

Wash and dry the strawberries.

Slice off the stems to create a flat base so they can stand upright.

Carefully cut an “X” in the tip of each strawberry, going about ¾ of the way down — don’t cut all the way through.

Gently open up the strawberry tips to make room for the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream (if using). Beat until creamy and fluffy.

Optional: Add lemon zest or a pinch of salt for a flavor boost.

 

3. Fill the Strawberries

Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.

Pipe the filling into the center of each strawberry, allowing it to slightly overflow for that “deviled” look.

4. Garnish

Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers for that classic cheesecake crunch.

Optionally, top with:

Mini chocolate chips

White chocolate drizzle

Fresh mint leaves for color and freshness

 

5. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes before serving so they firm up a bit.

Serve chilled and enjoy!
