Ingredients:
18-24 large strawberries
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: Graham cracker crumbs for topping
Instructions:
Prepare the Strawberries:
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Slice off the tops and carefully hollow out the center using a small spoon or melon baller, creating a pocket for the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated for a light and fluffy filling.
Fill the Strawberries:
Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag or use a small spoon to carefully fill each hollowed strawberry with the creamy mixture.
Garnish:
For an extra touch, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each filled strawberry to add a bit of texture and flavor.
Chill and Serve:
Place the filled strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to set. Serve chilled for the best texture and taste.
These Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are an irresistible blend of fresh, juicy strawberries and rich cheesecake filling, making them the perfect finger food for your next gathering!
