Description
Sweet, creamy, and fresh, these Deviled Strawberries taste like mini no-bake cheesecakes perfect for Valentine’s Day, summer parties, or anytime you want a fast, crowd-pleasing dessert.
Ingredients
18–24 large strawberries
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
1. Slice off the strawberry stems and cut each berry in half lengthwise.
2. Trim a thin slice from the back of each half so they sit flat on a plate.
3. Use a small melon baller or spoon to hollow out a small cavity in the center.
4. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
5. In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and optional lemon juice until smooth.
6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
7. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
8. Pipe the cheesecake filling into the hollowed strawberries.
9. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top for a cheesecake-like finish.
10. Chill until ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
To reduce carbs, use a low-carb sweetener instead of sugar and skip the graham cracker topping.
The filling can be made a day ahead; store covered in the fridge.
Prepped strawberries keep well overnight when stored in an airtight container lined with a paper towel.
Yields 36–48 halves depending on strawberry size.
Perfect for Valentine’s Day, holidays, potlucks, or no-bake dessert spreads.
