Strawberry Cream Cheese Dessert Dip
Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits so anytime I can incorporate them into a dessert is a win-win.
This Strawberry Whipped Cream recipe came about due to part of the method we use when making our homemade ice cream. So I pulled from it for this recipe in terms of the whipped cream.
This recipe is essentially a strawberry cheesecake dip. I am a sucker for a cheesecake, whether in the form of a cake or dip.
My husband isn't a cream cheese fan, but loves this dip!
This is the perfect dip to serve at a baby shower or even a bridal shower. It makes such a pretty, soft, and romantic shade of pink. The pink makes it perfect for Valentine's Day!
How to Serve It
- as a dessert on its own like I have done here
- as part of a charcuterie board
- you could even serve a dollop on top of a piece of pound cake or brownie
Dipping ideas
- graham crackers
- fresh strawberries
- vanilla wafers
- variety of fresh fruit like apple slices
- animal crackers
- pretzels
Ingredients
- block of cream cheese
- powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
- heavy cream
- strawberry jam
Let your block of cream cheese get to room temperature. It will blend easier.
This is such an easy recipe with a few simple ingredients. I typically make it the day to be served, but you could prepare the day before.
The Instructions
It will be much easier to use an electric mixer. I use a stand mixer, but you could also use a hand mixer.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Then add in the vanilla extract and strawberry jam until well-blended.
Set this mixture aside.
Using the whisk attachment with your electric mixer, whisk the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and serve with desired fruits, crackers, and cookies.
You will want to store the sweet dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I only keep it for 3 days.
I have not tried the recipe with cool whip in lieu of the whipping cream. I just prefer to not use cool whip. I'm sure it would work as a quicker step.
This strawberry cream cheese dip is definitely a hit with my family.
It's the perfect way to add a simple dessert, especially if doing a charcuterie or meal board.

Up next is Marty from A Stroll Thru Life. I don't know about you, but how fun would it be to serve her S'mores Dip with my dip for a dessert bar?
