Deviled Strawberries Recipe

Hi, I’m Sam from dishfoody.com, where comforting classics get a fresh twist. Deviled Strawberries transform fresh berries into bite-sized cheesecake treats by hollowing large strawberries and piping in whipped cream cheese filling topped with graham cracker crumbs.

Ready in 20 minutes, they serve 12 with perfect cheesecake texture in elegant party finger food format.

Why This Recipe Works

Strawberries’ natural shape mimics deviled eggs perfectly. Whipped cream lightens dense cream cheese into mousse texture. Graham cracker crumbs provide crust crunch. Lemon juice/zest brightens sweetness without overpowering fruit. Piping ensures uniform filling and professional presentation.

• 24 large strawberries
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Filling:

• ½ cup heavy whipping cream, cold
• ⅓ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp sour cream

4. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, lemon juice smooth.
5. Fold whipped cream gently into cheese mixture. Transfer to piping bag with star tip.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• Strawberries:
• 20–24 large fresh strawberries
• Cheesecake filling:
• 225 g cream cheese, softened
• 120 ml heavy whipping cream, cold
• 70 g powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
• Pinch of salt
• Topping:
• 3–4 tbsp graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscuits
• Optional: melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

• 1. Rinse and dry the strawberries well. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, then cut a small sliver off the back so they sit flat on a tray.
• 2. Use a small knife or melon baller to carefully hollow out a little well in the center of each strawberry half to hold the filling.
• 3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt until completely smooth and creamy.
• 4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
• 5. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped).
• 6. Pipe a generous swirl of cheesecake filling into the hollow of each strawberry half, mounding it slightly above the top.
• 7. Sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs or crushed biscuits. Drizzle with a little melted chocolate if you like.
• 8. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the neatest bites, or serve immediately for a softer texture.

Notes

• Choose large, firm strawberries so they hold plenty of filling and don’t collapse.
• Whip the cream separately, then fold it into the cream cheese for a light, whipped-cheesecake texture.
• Assemble close to serving time so the strawberries stay fresh and the crumbs stay crisp.
• For a twist, flavor the filling with a little cocoa powder, almond extract, or extra lemon zest.
• Leftover filling is great piped into small glasses and topped with berries as a quick mini cheesecake dessert.
