Loved by kids, adults, and dessert connoisseurs alike, this recipe combines elegance and ease, sweetness and freshness, tradition and innovation.

🍓 Ingredients:

🍓 Base:

  • 18–24 large, fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, and halved)

🧁 Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

🍪 Strawberry Crunch Topping (Optional, but Recommended):

  • 6 golden Oreos, crushed finely
  • 1 tbsp strawberry Jell-O powder
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Prep the Strawberries:

  • Wash and pat dry your strawberries.
  • Hull them and slice them in half lengthwise.
  • If needed, slightly trim the bottom of each half so they sit flat on a plate.

2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix well.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until fully combined.

3️⃣ Prepare the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

  • In a bowl, mix crushed golden Oreos with strawberry Jell-O powder and melted butter.
  • Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and slightly moist.

4️⃣ Assemble the Deviled Strawberries:

  • Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag with a star or round tip.
  • Pipe the filling generously onto the cut side of each strawberry half.
  • Sprinkle with the strawberry crunch topping.

5️⃣ Chill & Serve:

  • Refrigerate the assembled strawberries for at least 30 minutes.
  • Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.

🧪 Methods & Tips:

  • Chilling your bowl and beaters helps the whipping cream stiffen faster.
  • Use a melon baller to gently scoop out a small cavity in each strawberry if you want more space for filling.
  • Make ahead? You can prep the filling and strawberries the day before and assemble a few hours before serving.
  • No piping bag? Use a ziplock bag and snip a corner for a quick solution.
