Description

Deviled Strawberries are a delightful and elegant dessert featuring fresh strawberries filled with a creamy, sweet cheesecake mixture and topped with crunchy graham cracker crumbs. This no-bake, quick-to-prepare treat is perfect for parties, gatherings, or a refreshing weekend snack.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 3 lbs strawberries

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (from 2 graham cracker sheets)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash all the strawberries thoroughly and dry them completely to prevent the filling from becoming watery.
  2. Slice Strawberries: Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, then carefully slice off the hump on the back of each half so that the strawberries can lay flat on a baking sheet. Arrange them neatly and set aside.
  3. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Whip Cream: Add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and whip for about 2 minutes until the filling slightly thickens and becomes fluffy.
  5. Fill Strawberries: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a resealable Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off, then carefully fill each strawberry half with the creamy mixture.
  6. Add Topping: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the filled strawberries to add a crunchy texture and a hint of sweetness before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before filling to keep the mixture from becoming watery.
  • You can chill the strawberries after filling for 15-20 minutes to firm up the filling before serving.
  • Use fresh heavy whipping cream for best results in the filling's texture.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of lemon juice to the filling for extra flavor.
