    Using 5 ingredients all you need is 15 minutes to make those cheesecake-filled strawberries.

    List of ingredients to make deviled strawberries
    • Strawberry- For this recipe we need fresh, blemish free, and big in size strawberries for two reasons. First we need to cut them half lengthwise and make a dent in each half for filling. Kind of carving a small bowl shape to hold the filling. Second, a little slicing from the curvy side of strawberries so that they can sit at the edge instead of rolling around.
    • Cream cheese- I use full fat cream cheese to make cheesecake filling for getting the full flavors. Low fat cream cheese also works fine for the recipe.
    • Greek yogurt- Using non fat greek yogurt for thick and creamy structure. But full fat greek yogurt is also great.
    • Vanilla extract- Vanilla gives a aromatic flavors after combining with creame cheese and yogurt.
    • Sweetener- I use maple syrup to sweeten my creamcheese cake filling. But monk fruit sweetener also works great.
    • Garnishing- Blueberry or mint leaves for garnishing.

    By combining all these ingredients delicious, healthy, flavorful, we make cheesecake deviled strawberries.

    Deviled Strawberry Variations

    • Keto Deviled Strawberries
    • Nutella Deviled Strawberries
    • Chocolate Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries
    • Caramel Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries

    Substitutions

    • How to make vegan? To make vegan deviled strawberries just replace dairy with vegan cream cheese and yogurt.
    • How to make keto? Replace greek yogurt for full fat whipped cream to make keto deviled strawberries.
    • Sweetener- Sugar, maple syrup, agave syrup, stevia, or any sweetener works well to sweeten the filling.
    • Garnish- You can garnish these cheesecake deviled strawberries with any desired sprinkle or chocolate ganache or candies chopped nuts or crushed graham cracker. To keep them under my calories I simply used blueberry and mint leaves.
    • Substitute cream cheese with feta cheese, goat cheese, brie, and blue cheese.

    How To Make Deviled Strawberries

    In 15 minutes you can prepare a healthy strawberry dessert to serve at any time. Let's see the step-by-step instructions.

    Prepare strawberries

    At first, clean and wash all the strawberries. Wipe them with a paper towel to dry them all.

    cleaned and washed strawberries in a oval platter.

    Cut them half lengthwise along with the stem. Do not pluck the stem away. It helps in holding them. Slice off a small piece from the round part of the strawberry to flatten it. Doing so will help in resting in one place instead of rolling around.

    sliced strawberries kept on white board.

    Now use a sharp knife or melon baller to carve a small bowl from the flat side of the strawberry. This is where we will pipe the cheesecake filling. Repeat this for all other strawberries.

    Make cheesecake filling

    In a mixing bowl, whisk greek yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla, and sweetener till smooth consistency.

    Fill the cavity

    It is good to use a piping bag to fill the cavity. But using a small spoon also works just fine. Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake filling and fill the small bowl you created in the strawberry halves.

    Cream cheese filling filled inside the cavities.

    Repeat this for all the strawberries halves.

    Garnish & serve

    Garnish with mint leaves and blueberry at one side and serve immediately. Enjoy these delicious cheesecake deviled strawberries.

    Tips & FAQ's

    • Pick big and fresh strawberries so that you can fill them with filling. The more the merrier.
    • Do not cut the green stem part. It will help in holding them.
    • Cream cheese & yogurt should be at room temperature as cream cheese tend to get lumpy while combining.
    Can I make deviled strawberries in advance?

    You can make these cheesecake deviled strawberries in advance. Prepare the cream cheese filling and transfer it to a dry container, close the lid, and store it in the fridge. Similarly, make the small bowls in all halves of strawberries and store them in a separate container. This way you can store them for up to 3-4 days. When you need to serve, just transfer the filling into a piping bag and fill the small bowl, that's all.

    How To Serve

    Deviled strawberries are good to serve as a snack, a party appetizer, or a lightened dessert at any time.

    How To Store

    Any leftovers? Transfer them to a container and arrange them in a single layer. Place the container in the fridge and store them for up to one week. I do not recommend freezing as yogurt curdled after the thawing process, and strawberries will become soggy.
