This easy spreadable strawberry cream cheese is slightly sweet, perfectly pink, and lovely for a strawberry kissed breakfast. Oh, and best of all? There’s no artificial color in this, and the recipe’s only 2 ingredients.

If you’re looking for a fun breakfast option for a special occasion, this might be the thing for you!

How/when to serve strawberry cream cheese

Strawberry cream cheese is great for a number of things. Here is a list of a few good ideas for you!

• Breakfast (with toast or bagels and fresh strawberries)
• Brunch (with toast or bagels and fresh strawberries)
• Snacks (on crackers, bread, or piped onto fresh fruit)
• Charcuterie (as a sweet spreadable option)
• Dessert pizza “sauce” (along with lots of fresh fruit or pie filling)

This recipe is not a dessert filling. If you’re looking for a recipe to spread in the middle of cakes, pastries, or muffins, I recommend using my cream cheese filling recipe in its place.

Ingredients

There are two main ingredients to this recipe: cream cheese and jam. Here’s what I recommend for each.

Cream Cheese

For cream cheese, for a full-fat version (no low fat options, please). This will give your cream cheese the best flavor and most creamy texture.

Strawberry jam

I like to use either homemade jam or a jam from the store labeled “twice the fruit.” These jam varieties usually have less sugar and may have chunks of strawberries in them (which is my favorite)!

For a delicious strawberry jam recipe, you can check out my ebook, “Make Time for Tea.”

Substitutions and additions

For this recipe, I would not make any substitutions or additions. Adding anything extra will alter the texture of the finished spread, often making it runny instead of thick/smooth.

Storage

Strawberry cream cheese should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container until use.

You will need:

• Ingredients (see recipe card)
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups/spoons
• Electric mixer or stand mixer
• Spatula
• Airtight containers (for storage)

How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese

Here’s the breakdown on how it’s done: easy peasy.

1. Combine the cream cheese and strawberry jam in a medium sized mixing bowl.
2. Beat on med-high speed until the jam and cream cheese whip together and are very smooth.
3. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
