Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- heaping ½ cup diced strawberries
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Add in the strawberries and mix to incorporate the strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
If your berries are very ripe, you may need to blot them a bit to soak up some of the moisture before incorporating them into the cream cheese.
If you prefer a sweeter cream cheese, feel free to add more powdered sugar to sweeten it to your taste.
