Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces Frozen Strawberries
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Begin by thawing the frozen strawberries according to the package instructions. This is crucial, as you want them to be soft and ready to blend.
  2. Once thawed, carefully drain off about ⅓ to ½ cup of the liquid from the strawberries. You will only use this liquid for the recipe. Make sure to set the solid strawberries aside for another use.
  3. Next, cut the cream cheese into large cubes. This will help it blend more easily and achieve a smooth consistency.
  4. Place the cubes of cream cheese into the bowl of a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, a hand mixer will work as well.
  5. Now, drizzle the strawberry liquid over the cream cheese. This will infuse the creaminess with the sweet strawberry flavor.
  6. Pulse the mixture until the cream cheese and strawberry liquid are well mixed. You want a smooth consistency, so take your time with this step.
  7. Once fully combined, taste the mixture. Adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a little sugar, honey, or your desired sweetener.
  8. Transfer the strawberry cream cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Serve the Homemade Strawberry Cream Cheese Recipe on warm toast, bagels, or even as a dip for fresh fruit. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
  • Serving Temperature: For the best flavor, serve the cream cheese spread at room temperature. Just take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving.
  • Texture Tips: If you prefer a thicker spread, reduce the amount of liquid from the strawberries when blending.
  • Ingredient Quality: Using high-quality cream cheese can significantly enhance the taste of your spread. Opt for full-fat varieties for a creamier texture.
