Now to these little “Deviled Hearts”…no bake cheesecake stuffed strawberries are nothing new. Totally delicious, but nothing new. We’re adding our own twist to this yummy dessert, by splitting them down the middle, scooping out the centers and piping the filling straight into them….”Deviled Hearts”…get it?! Just like the panna cotta from Monday, this dessert is SUPER easy (seriously takes 15 minutes, tops) and REALLY addicting. I actually made a very similar recipe for a upcoming issue of a popular food magazine (more on that as the issue approaches!) and when testing these…lets just say the boyfriend (aka, the taste tester) down 16 of them in one sitting….16! I also made these for the super bowl, but as a dip sitch and as soon as I set the platter out, people were huddling around it until they were gone….so I think we have a winner here! I’ve made these “New York Style” by adding a good amount of sour cream and lemon zest (I just love the tang). Folding the whipped cream into the mixture is key as it’ll give you a light and fluffy filling! If you’re looking for a last minute V-Day dessert…I recommend these! They’re a cute V-day dessert, but you can really make them for any occasion! I hope everyone has a fun and safe Valentine’s Day, doing whatever the heck y’all want! ;) xx, Jenny

Deviled Hearts
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
- ⅔ cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 16 large strawberries, tops cut and split in half lengthwise
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer, until smooth.
- Scrape down sides of the bowl and set aside.
- In another mixing bowl with the electric mixer, beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Slice the backs of each strawberry, every so slightly, so they sit up straight. Using a small measuring spoon or melon baller, carefully hollow the inner center of each strawberry.
- Fill a piping bag (fitted with a star tip) with the cream cheese mixture and pipe into each cut strawberry.
- Finish each with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs and serve.

I love that movie!
No strawberries here yet. In Dordogne food is very seasonal and we will not see them until May.

Just made these for 20 guys. Everyone thought they were great. I am with you. Don’t need valentines day to let my hubby know I love him. Thanks for the recipe. In WI our strawberries are so sour this time of year.

Stefanie @ Sarcastic Cooking
I am so glad you still like Valentine’s Day. I do agree though, too much pressure. We made a rule this year, just cards and dinner. Done, nothing else. I am going to make these tomorrow for dessert! Super easy and cute.

I totally loved the idea of these deviled hearts!
natalie @ wee eats
Seriously? the cutest thing ever. Like, EVER! I love it!
I love that they’re “deviled”, too, and great tip about slicing off a piece of the back so I don’t spend my time chasing the strawberries around lol
Bunny Eats Design
These are adorable! Smart idea to slice a little bit off the back so they don’t wobble. I wonder if that is ever done with deviled eggs too?
Nadia
Yes, I do it all the time:)

These are the best idea ever, and I love it so much!

Ha–I was seriously expecting to see deviled eggs made from eggs shaped in those little Japanese heart molds! And that would have been pretty great, but these little berry bites sound even better. :)
Averie @ Averie Cooks
Absolutely beautiful! I want to reach through the screen. I’m not huge on deviled eggs, but I am huge on these!
