Description

Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a delightful and refreshing twist on traditional cheesecake. Fresh strawberries are hollowed out and filled with a creamy, sweetened cheesecake mixture, then topped with graham cracker crumbs and optional mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor. Perfect as a charming appetizer or a light dessert, these bite-sized treats combine the freshness of fruit with the indulgence of cheesecake in every delicious bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Toppings & Garnish

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, gently rubbing them to remove any dirt or impurities.
  2. Dry Strawberries: Pat the strawberries dry carefully using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Prepare Base: Slice off the green tops of the strawberries to create a stable, flat base for standing.
  4. Hollow Out Centers: Using a sharp knife or small melon baller, hollow out the center of each strawberry without cutting through the bottom, creating space for the filling.
  5. Beat Cream Cheese: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer or whisk until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing well after each addition to ensure even sweetness.
  7. Mix Vanilla Extract: Pour in vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated into the cheesecake mixture.
  8. Add Sour Cream: Stir in sour cream to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  9. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling for added texture and flavor.
  10. Fill Strawberries: Fill a piping bag or use a spoon to carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the cheesecake mixture, packing the filling well inside.
  11. Top with Graham Cracker: Sprinkle the top of each filled strawberry with graham cracker crumbs for a crunchy finish.
  12. Chill: Place the filled strawberries on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and chill.
  13. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally garnish each strawberry with a fresh mint leaf. Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious treat!

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for best results to avoid soggy bottoms after hollowing.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth texture.
  • Optional mini chocolate chips add a nice crunch but can be omitted for a classic filling.
  • Make these in advance and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Perfect for parties, baby showers, or as a light, refreshing dessert.
