Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Fresh Strawberries: Opt for large, firm strawberries that can hold a generous dollop of filling without collapsing.
Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest flavor and smoothest texture in your filling.
Powdered Sugar: This sweetens the filling perfectly without any graininess; it dissolves easily into the cream cheese.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile and adds warmth.
Whipped Cream: Lightly whipped cream adds fluffiness; you can even use store-bought for convenience.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prepare yourself for an adventure filled with laughter and scrumptiousness as we create these Easy Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries!

Prep the Strawberries: Begin by washing your fresh strawberries under cool water. Pat them dry gently with paper towels to avoid sogginess before cutting off the tops.

Create the Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy—this should take only about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

Add Whipped Cream: Gently fold in properly whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate it; we want lightness here!

Stuff Those Berries!: Grab a piping bag or simply use a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off. Fill each strawberry generously with that luscious cream cheese mixture until they look like little clouds.

Chill and Serve!: Arrange your stuffed strawberries on a platter and pop them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let those flavors meld together beautifully before serving.
