Can I make cheesecake deviled strawberries the night before?

You sure can! Just prep the filling and strawberries separately, and pipe them on the day of. That way they stay pretty and fresh.

What’s the difference between stuffed and deviled strawberries?

Stuffed strawberries are usually whole with filling piped into the center. Deviled strawberries are halved and styled like deviled eggs—cuter, cleaner, easier to serve.

Can I use whipped cream instead of heavy cream?

Yes! Just stabilize it with a bit of powdered sugar so the filling holds its shape.

Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries (No-Bake Party Favorite)

Description

These cheesecake deviled strawberries are the ultimate no-bake party treat—sweet strawberries filled with whipped vanilla cheesecake, topped with a graham cracker crunch. Perfect for baby showers, BBQs, birthdays, or a surprise weeknight dessert that wows.

Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs fresh large strawberries (about 25–30)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (or almond extract)
½ – 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup graham cracker crumbs

Optional Add-Ins

1 packet (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding mix
¾ cup milk (only if using pudding mix)
Toppings: melted chocolate, shredded coconut, mint, rainbow sprinkles, crushed pistachios, lemon zest

Instructions

Prep the Strawberries:
Wash and gently dry the strawberries. Slice each in half lengthwise. Trim the base of each half if needed so they sit flat. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out a shallow well in the center.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Using pudding mix? Whisk pudding with milk first, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Fill the Strawberries:
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each halved strawberry. A piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped works great.
Add Toppings:
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the filled strawberries. Add extra toppings if desired—drizzled chocolate, shredded coconut, mint, or lemon zest.
Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed the same day.

Notes

Chill the filling for 15 minutes before piping for cleaner swirls.
For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and whipped coconut cream.
Store unfilled strawberries and filling separately if prepping ahead.
This recipe pairs beautifully with Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad for a summer dessert table.
