Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 3 lbs strawberries
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Topping
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (from 2 graham cracker sheets)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash all the strawberries thoroughly and dry them completely. Next, slice each strawberry in half lengthwise, then carefully slice off the hump on the back of each half so that the strawberries lay flat on a baking sheet. Set them aside for filling.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend these ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Whip Heavy Cream: Slowly pour the heavy whipping cream into the mixture and continue whipping for about 2 minutes until the filling slightly thickens and becomes fluffy.
- Fill Strawberries: Transfer the creamy cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a resealable Ziploc bag with a small cut in the corner. Pipe the filling generously into each strawberry half, ensuring they are nicely filled.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly on top of the filled strawberries to add a delicious crunchy texture. Serve immediately to enjoy fresh and creamy deviled strawberries.
