These Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are the epitome of elegance in bite-sized form. The combination of fresh, juicy strawberries and creamy cheesecake filling creates a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. Topped with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs and optional chocolate drizzle, these little treats are not only delicious but also visually stunning.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pint of fresh strawberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Optional toppings: chocolate drizzle, crushed nuts, or sprinkles

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a paring knife, hull the strawberries by cutting off the green stems and creating a small hollow in the center of each strawberry. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the strawberry.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined. The filling should be smooth and slightly fluffy.
  3. Fill the Strawberries: Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill each hollowed-out strawberry with the cheesecake mixture. Be generous with the filling, allowing it to slightly overflow from the top of the strawberry for an appealing look.
  4. Add the Graham Cracker Crumbs: Once all the strawberries are filled, sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs. This adds a nice crunch and gives the strawberries a classic cheesecake taste.
  5. Optional Toppings: For an extra touch of indulgence, consider drizzling the filled strawberries with melted chocolate, or adding crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles. These toppings not only enhance the flavor but also make the strawberries look even more festive and appealing.
  6. Chill and Serve: Place the filled strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the cheesecake filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
