Ingredients for whipped strawberry cream cheese.

Well, this one is easy! Strawberry jam and cream cheese… that’s it. Here are a few of our recommendations for both the cream cheese and the strawberry jam.

• Strawberry Jam.
  • We used one from our CSA in Columbus called Yellowbird Foodshed and it was delicious.
  • I love Bonne Maman preserves and jam, it’s one of my absolute favorites and you can find it at most grocery stores in the US.
  • If you want to be real fancy, you can make homemade strawberry jam. Here is a recipe from The Spiffy Cookie.
  • But, even a classic Smucker’s will be great too!
• Cream Cheese.
  • For this recipe, we used the Kirkland’s cream cheese from Costco.
  • We definitely recommend the Organic Valley brand of cream cheese or Neufchatel (a little less fat!) which you can get at most major grocery stores.

The great thing about this super simple recipe is that you can swap out the jam for other flavored whipped cream cheese. You could do blackberry, cherry, fig, or even orange marmalade!

How to make the best whipped cream cheese.

This whipped cream cheese is seriously so simple to make, but there you need to do one thing first and foremost! You’ll need to let your cream cheese get to room temperature so it’s a bit softened when you mix it.

You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to actually whip the cream cheese. Either way works perfectly!

Once your cream cheese is softened, you’ll add it to the mixing bowl of your choice and then toss in your strawberry jam. I added about 1/2 cup of the jam, but you can add more or less depending on your flavor preference.

Then, using the whisk attachment, mix until it’s fluffy and perfect. It will take about 5-8 minutes. You can also watch the video below to see exactly how to make the best whipped strawberry cream cheese!
