Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam (optional, for extra strawberry flavor)
- 1/2 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Base:
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much. You want to keep it light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- If you’d like your strawberries a bit sweeter, toss them with a tablespoon or two of sugar. Let them sit for a few minutes to release some juices.
- Assemble the Dip:
- Transfer the creamy mixture into a serving dish or bowl. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, reserving a few for garnish.
- Add the Toppings:
- Sprinkle crushed shortbread cookies over the dip for added crunch and texture. Garnish with extra fresh strawberries on top.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the dip with graham crackers, cookies, fresh fruit, or even mini biscuits for dipping. Enjoy this sweet treat as a crowd-pleaser at any party!
Notes
- If you prefer a lighter texture, you can swap half of the cream cheese for Greek yogurt.
- You can use other fruits like raspberries or blueberries if you prefer a different berry flavor.
- This dip is best served chilled, so you can refrigerate it for an hour before serving if desired.
