Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (227 g) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (113 g) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (85 g) strawberry jam
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (113 g) confectioners sugar
Flavoring:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a clean mixing bowl and soften the cream cheese at room temperature to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Combine cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract, using an electric mixer to blend until the mixture becomes silky and free of lumps.
- In a separate chilled bowl, vigorously whip the heavy cream until it develops soft, billowy peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- Carefully incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a gentle folding technique to maintain the airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Select a decorative serving dish and transfer the creamy mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Drizzle strawberry jam across the top of the dip, using the tip of a knife to create delicate swirls and a marbled visual effect.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to slightly firm up.
- Arrange an assortment of dipping options such as graham crackers, fresh strawberry slices, apple wedges, or pretzel sticks around the serving dish.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the luxurious, fruity cheesecake-inspired dip within 2-3 hours of preparation for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Softening cream cheese at room temperature ensures smooth blending without lumps, creating a silky-smooth texture.
- Chilling the mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream helps achieve perfect, stable peaks faster.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese with low-fat or Greek yogurt to reduce calories while maintaining creamy consistency.
- Customize by using different fruit jams like raspberry or mixed berry to create unique flavor variations that complement the strawberry base.
