Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

18-24 large strawberries
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened)
1/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Directions

Follow these simple steps to create your masterpiece:

Prep the strawberries by cutting off the stems and slicing them in half.
Cut a small sliver off the back of each strawberry half so that they sit up straight.
Use a small melon baller to hollow out the middle; just make a small indent so that the cream cheese filling doesn’t slide off.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until smooth.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe it onto each strawberry.
Finish with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
Serve and enjoy!

Tips to Make Deviled Strawberries (Made with a Cheesecake Filling)

Here are some insider tricks to elevate your dessert game:

Choose the Right Strawberries: Opt for firm, fresh berries that can hold their shape. Bigger is often better!
Soften the Cream Cheese: Let it sit out before mixing so it blends smoothly — nobody likes chunky filling!
Don’t Overmix: When combining the whipped cream and cheese mixture, fold gently to retain that airy texture.

Variation

Want to switch things up? Try infusing the cheesecake filling with flavors like chocolate or hazelnut spread for a fun twist. You can also sub the cream cheese with vegan cream cheese to make it plant-based!

FAQs

Can I make them ahead of time?

How do I prevent the strawberries from getting mushy?
Choose firmer strawberries, and don’t slice them too far in advance. Fresh is best!

It’s not recommended as the texture changes once they thaw. Enjoy them fresh for the best experience!
