Deviled Strawberries

Deviled strawberries are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. They are a twist on the classic deviled egg, replacing the egg yolk filling with a sweet and creamy mixture made from strawberries, cream cheese, and sugar.

To make deviled strawberries, you'll need a pint of fresh strawberries, 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and a few drops of vanilla extract. You'll also need a small piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner cut off to pipe the filling into the strawberries.

First, wash and dry the strawberries, and then slice off the tops. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out the centers of the strawberries, being careful not to puncture the bottoms.

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the piping bag or plastic bag.

Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out strawberries, making sure to fill them completely. You can also add a little bit of the filling to the top of each strawberry for an extra-decorative touch.

Refrigerate the deviled strawberries for at least an hour before serving to allow the filling to set. These sweet and creamy treats are perfect for a summer barbecue, a party, or just as an indulgent dessert for yourself.

You can also get creative with the filling by adding in different flavors or toppings. Try adding a few drops of lemon juice or orange zest for a citrus twist, or top the strawberries with chopped nuts or chocolate shavings for added crunch. The possibilities are endless with deviled strawberries – give them a try and see for yourself!

Plump strawberries “deviled” with a quick cheesecake filling and finished with fun toppings. Zero baking, max wow.

Prep: 20 mins
Chill: 30–60 mins
Yield: ~24 halves

Ingredients

  • 2 lb fresh strawberries (large if possible)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3–1/2 cup powdered sugar (to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (brightens; optional)
  • 2–3 Tbsp heavy cream or milk (for piping consistency; optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional finishes

  • Graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies
  • Mini chocolate chips / shaved chocolate
  • Chopped nuts (pistachios, pecans)
  • Melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prep berries: Rinse, dry thoroughly, and hull. Halve lengthwise. With a small spoon or melon baller, scoop a shallow cavity. Pat cut sides dry (key for non-slippy filling).
  2. Make filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt; beat until fluffy. Mix in 1–3 Tbsp cream as needed until silky and pipeable.
  3. Pipe: Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a zip bag with corner snipped). Pipe a rosette into each strawberry cavity.
  4. Finish & chill: Sprinkle with crumbs, chips, or nuts; drizzle chocolate if desired. Chill 30–60 minutes to set. Serve cold.

Tips

  • Dry is everything: Moisture prevents the filling from sticking—really pat those berries dry.
  • Make-ahead: Pipe up to 6 hours ahead; add crumbs/drizzle just before serving to keep them crisp.
  • Extra-stable filling: Beat in 2 Tbsp marshmallow creme or 1–2 Tbsp instant cheesecake/vanilla pudding mix.

Variations

  • Chocolate cheesecake: Add 1–2 Tbsp cocoa powder and a splash of cream.
  • Lemon cheesecake: Swap vanilla for 1 tsp lemon zest + 1/2 tsp lemon extract.
  • Tiramisu: Dust with cocoa and dot with espresso syrup.
  • Protein boost: Replace 2 Tbsp cream cheese with vanilla Greek yogurt; chill well to firm.

Storage

Best day-of. Refrigerate covered up to 24 hours. Not freezer-friendly.
