8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream (as needed)
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

How to Make Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries

Wash and dry strawberries. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise.
Scoop out a tiny bit of the center of each half with a small spoon or knife to create a little “well.”
In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
If needed, add a splash of heavy cream to thin the mixture slightly for piping.
Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling into the center of each strawberry half.
Sprinkle crushed graham cracker crumbs on top of the filled strawberries.
Chill for about 10–15 minutes before serving if you want them a little firmer — or dive right in!

Tips for Success

Choose big, sturdy strawberries for the best filling-to-fruit ratio!
Pipe the filling if you want extra pretty presentation (but spooning it in works fine too).
Don’t overfill or it can slide off — a little dollop goes a long way.
Make ahead tip: Fill and chill the strawberries a few hours ahead of time for easy party prep!

Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Tip: Best enjoyed the same day for maximum freshness!
Freezer: Not recommended — strawberries get mushy when thawed.
