Cheesecake Deviled Strawberriesare a delicious and fun twist on traditional deviled eggs, but with a sweet cheesecake filling! Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
- 12 large strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- Optional toppings: graham cracker crumbs, chocolate shavings, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and dry the strawberries. Slice off the tops to create a flat surface, then carefully scoop out the inside of each strawberry using a small spoon or melon baller. Be sure to leave enough of the strawberry intact to hold the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream. Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and thickened, resembling a cheesecake filling. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.
- Fill the Strawberries:
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, mounding it slightly.
- Garnish:
- Optional: Top each filled strawberry with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or a few mini chocolate chips for an added touch.
- Chill:
- Place the stuffed strawberries in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Serve:
- Enjoy your Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries as a delightful dessert or party treat!
These strawberries are a fun, no-bake dessert that combines the freshness of strawberries with the creamy sweetness of cheesecake!
