Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop a shallow indent into the center of each strawberry half to hold the filling, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling is fluffy and well combined.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, then pipe it onto the cut side of each strawberry half.
Depending on the size of the strawberries, the amount of cheesecake filling you pipe may vary.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top of each deviled strawberry and serve right away or chill until ready to enjoy.
