Description
Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a delightful twist on a classic dessert, combining the beloved flavors of cheesecake with the sweetness of strawberries. Perfect for any gathering, these little bites add a touch of sophistication and playful fun to your table.
Ingredients
20–24 medium-sized fresh strawberries, 8 oz cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4–5 sheets)
Instructions
Wash the Strawberries: Gently rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel., Hollow Out the Strawberries: Trim the green tops and then use a small paring knife or a melon baller to carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry, making sure not to break the sides., Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy., Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps for a silky filling., Fill the Strawberries: Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill each hollowed strawberry with the cream cheese mixture, allowing it to mound slightly over the top., Set Aside: Once all the strawberries are filled, place them on a serving platter, ready for the final touch., Prepare Graham Cracker Crumbs: If they aren’t pre-crushed, finely crush the graham crackers in a ziplock bag or use a food processor., Top the Strawberries: Generously sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top of the filled strawberries, ensuring a delightful crunch accompanies each bite.
Notes
If you have any leftover strawberries, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days but can be kept for up to three days before the strawberries start to lose their freshness.
