Ingredients
  

For the Strawberries
  • 12 large Strawberries Use large, fresh ones for optimal filling capacity.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Make sure it’s softened for smooth, easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Adds tanginess; Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the filling; swap for a low-carb sweetener for a sugar-free option.
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Provides a rich, airy texture; coconut cream works as a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Use pure extract for the best flavor boost.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Adds brightness; feel free to omit if preferred.
For the Topping
  • 1/4 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Offers crunch; consider crushed nuts or sugar-free alternatives for a twist.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Deviled Strawberries
  1. Start by rinsing the strawberries under cool water and gently patting them dry. Cut off the green stems and slice each strawberry in half lengthwise. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create room for the filling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  5. Transfer the creamy filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the cheesecake filling generously into each strawberry half.
  6. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top of each filled strawberry to add a delightful crunch.
  7. Serve the Deviled Strawberries immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
