Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and pat dry the strawberries.
Using a paring knife, cut off the tops of each strawberry.
Hollow out the center slightly using a small spoon or melon baller to create room for the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Beat until well combined and creamy.
Step 3: Fill the Strawberries
Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag (or a plastic bag with the corner cut off).
Pipe the filling into each hollowed-out strawberry until slightly overflowing.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle the tops with graham cracker crumbs for a “crust” effect.
Add chocolate shavings for extra indulgence (optional).
Serve immediately or chill for 15-30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Pro Tips
Use ripe but firm strawberries to hold the filling well.
Chill the filled strawberries before serving for a better texture.
Experiment with flavors – add cinnamon, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts.
These Cheesecake Devilled Strawberries are a heavenly combination of fresh fruit and creamy cheesecake, making them an irresistible treat! Enjoy these little bites of joy anytime you need a quick and elegant dessert.
