1 cup heavy whipping cream

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and cut off the stems. Slice a small portion off the bottom of each strawberry so they can stand upright. Then, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry using a small spoon or paring knife, making space for the cheesecake filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the heavy whipping cream and beat again until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Fill the Strawberries: Spoon the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, being generous with the amount.
Serve: Arrange the filled strawberries on a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cheesecake filling and hollow out the strawberries ahead of time. Assemble the strawberries with the filling a few hours before serving to ensure they stay fresh.

Can I use whipped cream instead of heavy cream?

While heavy cream is ideal for creating a thicker, more stable filling, you can substitute whipped cream in a pinch for a lighter texture.

Are these gluten-free?

Yes, Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are naturally gluten-free, making them a perfect treat for anyone with dietary restrictions.

Can I use flavored cream cheese?

Yes, you can use flavored cream cheese, such as strawberry or vanilla, for a fun twist on the classic cheesecake filling.

Can I freeze these strawberries?

While it’s not recommended to freeze the filled strawberries, you can freeze the cheesecake filling separately and use it later. Fresh strawberries, however, will lose their texture when frozen.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes, you can use dairy-free cream cheese and whipped coconut cream as substitutes to make these strawberries dairy-free.

How can I prevent the strawberries from getting soggy?

To keep strawberries from getting soggy, be sure to hollow them out just before filling them and serve them soon after filling them with the cheesecake mixture.

Can I add toppings to the filling?

Absolutely! You can add mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit on top of the cheesecake filling for added texture and flavor.

How can I make these even more indulgent?

For a more decadent treat, add a layer of strawberry jam inside the strawberries before filling them with the cheesecake mixture.

How do I make sure the filling is smooth?

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing, and beat the filling until it’s light and fluffy to achieve the smoothest texture.

Conclusion

Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a fun and elegant way to enjoy the flavors of cheesecake in a bite-sized form. They are simple to prepare, customizable, and perfect for serving at any gathering or celebration.
