Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
18-24 large strawberries
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Strawberry Shortcake Crumble:
1 pack of Golden Oreos, crushed
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 packet (3 oz) strawberry gelatin mix
1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
Directions
Prepare the Strawberries – Cut off the stems and slice each strawberry in half. Slice a small sliver off the back of each half so they sit upright.
Hollow Them Out – Use a small melon baller to carefully scoop out a small indent in the middle of each strawberry half.
Make the Filling – In a medium mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
Mix the Cheesecake Base – In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until smooth.
Combine – Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Pipe the Filling – Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe onto each strawberry half.
Make the Crumble – Mix the crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, strawberry gelatin mix, and freeze-dried strawberries.
Bake the Crumble – Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 7-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
Garnish – Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs or the prepared strawberry shortcake crumble over the piped strawberries.
Serve & Enjoy!

Variations
Chocolate Twist – Drizzle the finished strawberries with melted chocolate or mix cocoa powder into the cheesecake filling.
Nutty Crunch – Add finely chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the crumble for extra texture.
Berry Blend – Swap out strawberries for halved raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry version.
No-Bake Crumble – Skip baking the crumble and simply mix the crushed ingredients for a quicker topping.
Citrus Zing – Add a little orange or lime zest to the cheesecake filling for a bright, tangy flavor.
Storage/Reheating
Refrigeration – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The strawberries will start to release moisture, so it’s best to eat them fresh.
Freezing – These don’t freeze well because the strawberries become mushy when thawed.
Make Ahead – Prepare the cheesecake filling and crumble in advance, then assemble just before serving for the best texture.
FAQs
How do I prevent the strawberries from getting soggy?
I recommend filling the strawberries right before serving. If prepping ahead, store the cheesecake mixture separately and pipe when ready.
Can I make these without a piping bag?
Yes! I can use a spoon to scoop the cheesecake filling into the strawberries, though a piping bag creates a neater presentation.
What can I use instead of Golden Oreos in the crumble?
Vanilla wafer cookies or graham crackers work as a great substitute for Golden Oreos.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Fresh strawberries work best since frozen ones tend to be too soft after thawing.
How can I make these even sweeter?
For extra sweetness, drizzle honey, caramel, or white chocolate over the filled strawberries.

Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries are a delightful, easy-to-make treat that combines fresh fruit with rich, creamy filling and a crunchy topping.
