Pro Tips
(1) Use a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to strain the strawberry puree.
(2) Soften the cream cheese to room temperature. Set it on the counter for one hour before using. This ensures that the cream cheese blends easily and no chunks remain to create a smooth dip. If you use the cream cheese before softening, you may have chunks of cream cheese in your dip.
Serving Suggestions
- Graham Crackers
- Shortbread Cookies
- Pretzels
- Chocolate Chip Cookies or Sugar Cookies
- Fresh Fruit – strawberries, banana slices, apple slices, pineapple chunks, etc.
Storage and Make Ahead
You can make the dip ahead of time and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. The dip will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store in a sealed container.
FAQs
Let the cream cheese sit on the counter at room temperature for one hour. You can also cut the cream cheese in chunks and let it sit on a plate. This will help it soften faster.
While cheesecake dip is best served fresh, you can freeze leftovers. To freeze, transfer the dip to a freezer safe zip-top bag, pressing out as much of the air as possible. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
