Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Pat them dry with a clean towel, and place them in a blender or food processor.
Blend the strawberries until smooth, then strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Set aside the strained strawberry puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Beat again until fully incorporated and light in texture.
Gradually fold in the strawberry puree, a little at a time, until the dip reaches your desired flavor and consistency.
Transfer the strawberry cream dip to a serving bowl, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve the dip with an assortment of fresh fruits such as apple slices, banana chunks, grape skewers, or pineapple pieces. Enjoy!
