What Are Deviled Strawberries?

Deviled strawberries are strawberry halves that are filled with a sweet, cream cheese filling, just like a deviled egg is filled with egg yolk.

Pro Recipe Tips

  1. These are best served fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  2. Don’t skip softening the cream cheese. You’ll be frustrated if you don’t soften it.
  3. Can’t find honey-sweetened graham crackers? You can also use chopped nuts or a little extra powdered sweetener as a topping.

What You’ll Need To Make Deviled Strawberries

Strawberries – The size doesn’t matter, but if you choose bigger strawberries, you’ll get about 15 of these. I you choose smaller strawberries, you’ll get closer to 20.

Plain cream cheese – Just the regular stuff in a block.

Powdered sweetener – I used xylitol because that’s what works for my blood sugar. But it’s not considered clean eating. You can use any granular sweetener you feel comfortable with and powder it in a blender. You can even use stevia if you wish. Other recommendations are Sucanat, coconut sugar, or monk fruit.

Pure vanilla extract – The real stuff. Not vanilla flavoring.

Salt

Heavy cream

Honey-sweetened graham cracker crumbs – buy honey-sweetened graham crackers and crush them in a zipper-top bag.
