Description
Cheesecake deviled strawberries are a fun, bite-sized twist on the classic dessert. They feature sweet, ripe strawberries filled with a creamy cheesecake filling, making them a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 pint of fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp heavy cream
Optional: crushed graham crackers, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by washing and hulling the strawberries. Slice a small portion off the bottom of each strawberry to make them stand upright. Using a paring knife, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry, being sure not to pierce the sides.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture. Be generous, filling each one to the top.
- If desired, garnish with crushed graham crackers, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 12-15 stuffed strawberries, depending on the size of the berries.
- The cheesecake filling can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- For a gluten-free version, skip the graham cracker garnish or use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
- Best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
