Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need a handful of ingredients to make this delightful dessert:

How to Make Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Strawberries
   Wash and dry the strawberries. Slice each in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out a small cavity in the center of each half to hold the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
   In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. (Add lemon zest if using.)
3. Pipe the Filling
   Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped). Pipe the filling generously into the cavity of each strawberry half.
4. Add the Toppings
   Sprinkle the tops with crushed graham crackers for that classic cheesecake texture. Garnish with a mint leaf, drizzle with chocolate, or add a berry on top if desired.
5. Chill & Serve
   Chill the deviled strawberries for at least 15–30 minutes before serving for the best flavor and presentation.

Tips & Variations

• For a lighter version, use whipped cream cheese or Greek yogurt.
• Add cocoa powder or melted chocolate for a chocolate cheesecake variation.
• Pipe extra filling into mini phyllo shells for a second dessert option.
