Strawberry Cream Cheese
Report
A classic on raisin bagels, Strawberry Cream Cheese (with a secret ingredient) whips up quickly and easily. Also good on pancakes, as a fruit dip, etc.

Ingredients
- 4 ounces frozen strawberries about a half cup of chopped berries, thawed
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 Tablespoon sugar real or substitute or to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
Instructions
- Thaw frozen berries, then squeeze out a tablespoon or two of liquid (see note if using fresh). Coarsely puree.
- Cream the cream cheese using a mixer or a small food processor (my blender blade was too high for this). Add berries, sugar or substitute, and lemon zest and mix until blended. Taste and adjust sugar to taste.
- Serve with bagels, crepes, crepes, apple slices or ???
Notes
- I have not tried this with fresh berries, but have two suggestions to avoid excess moisture, since you won’t be able to squeeze them drier. Suggestion one: don’t puree, just finely chop (or go halfsies on pureeing/chopping). Suggestion two:, sprinkle sliced berries with some extra sugar, and let them sit in a strainer until they release some of their juice which you can then discard.
