🍓 Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb large fresh strawberries

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

• Optional: chocolate drizzle or mini chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries

   • Wash and dry the strawberries.

   • Slice each in half lengthwise.

   • Use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out a small well in the center.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

   • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

3. Fill the Strawberries

   • Transfer filling to a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped).

   • Pipe the cheesecake mixture into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry half.

4. Add the Topping

   • Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the filled strawberries.

   • Garnish with chocolate drizzle or mini chocolate chips if desired.

5. Serve & Enjoy

   • Chill for 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Tips for Success

• Choose large, firm strawberries so they hold the filling well.

• Make sure strawberries are completely dry before filling to prevent slipping.

• Pipe the filling for a neat, professional look.

• Prepare just before serving for the freshest presentation.

Variations

• Chocolate Cheesecake Filling: Add 2 tbsp cocoa powder to the filling.

• Lemon Twist: Mix lemon zest into the cream cheese filling.

• Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle crushed pecans or almonds on top instead of graham crackers.

• Holiday Version: Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas or heart-shaped sprinkles for Valentine’s Day.
