Sweetheart Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries
These Sweetheart Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a delightful and healthy treat, perfect for any romantic occasion or just a sweet craving. Large, ripe strawberries are filled with a creamy, dreamy cheesecake mixture and topped with a hint of graham cracker crumbs for the perfect crunch.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds large, ripe fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Gently wash and pat dry your strawberries. Carefully slice each one in half lengthwise, making sure to keep the green stems attached for a pretty look. For stability, trim a tiny bit off the bottom of each berry half so they sit flat without wobbling. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out a little hollow in the center of each strawberry half to make space for the delicious filling.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy whipping cream. Beat it with an electric mixer on high speed until it forms beautiful, stiff peaks – this usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Set this aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is super smooth and fluffy, with no lumps.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it's just combined and has a lovely, smooth consistency. Be careful not to overmix!
- Spoon your creamy cheesecake mixture into a piping bag (or a sturdy zip-top bag with one corner snipped off). Neatly pipe the filling into the hollows of your prepped strawberry halves, making sure each one is generously filled.
- Just before serving, sprinkle a touch of graham cracker crumbs over each filled strawberry for that delightful hint of crunch and texture.
- Place your filled strawberries on a plate and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This helps the filling set beautifully and keeps everything refreshingly cold. Serve and enjoy your healthy, festive treats!
