Description
Make this simple, quick dip that tastes like strawberry cheesecake without turning on your oven. Serve it with graham crackers or fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves or jam
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
- Optional: Graham crackers or fruit for dipping
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the strawberry preserves until streaks of pink appear. You want some swirls, not a uniform color.
- Gently fold in the finely diced fresh strawberries.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve cold with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit slices.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, use a tub of frozen whipped topping instead of whipping heavy cream. Thaw it first.
- If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, use a few drops of strawberry extract along with the preserves.
- You can make this dip up to 24 hours ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator.
