Ingredients

• 1 pack of Golden Oreos, crushed – These cookies add a light, sweet crunch.
• 3 tablespoons melted butter – Helps bind the crumble and adds richness.
• 1 packet strawberry gelatin mix (3 oz) – Infuses the crumble with a fruity, strawberry flavor.
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed – Enhances the strawberry taste and adds a pop of color.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crumble: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, strawberry gelatin mix, and freeze-dried strawberries. Mix until all ingredients are well-coated and have a crumbly texture.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries

To make the most delicious cheesecake deviled strawberries, consider these essential tips:

• Choosing Strawberries: Select large, firm, and ripe strawberries for the best flavor and stability. Look for berries that are bright red and have no soft spots.
• Perfect Filling Consistency: To achieve a smooth, fluffy filling, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks separately, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture to avoid deflating it.
• Presentation and Serving: Use a piping bag with a star tip to create beautiful swirls when filling each strawberry. This not only adds a professional touch but also helps the filling stay in place. For extra elegance, add a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top or even a strawberry shortcake crumble. These presentation tips ensure your strawberries are a hit at any gathering!
