How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture until it’s fully combined and smooth. Set aside.

Step 2: Whip the Heavy Cream

In a separate bowl, add the heavy cream.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream for about 2-3 minutes, or until medium peaks form.

Step 3: Combine and Serve

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread the cheesecake dip into a wide, shallow bowl.
Top with the strawberry jam and use a knife to swirl it into the dip for a beautiful presentation.
Serve immediately with your choice of dippers, or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

.Use room temperature cream cheese: This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
Don’t overwhip the heavy cream: Overwhipped cream will become grainy and difficult to incorporate into the dip.
Fold gently: When combining the whipped cream and cream cheese mixture, fold gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
Get creative with toppings: You can use other flavors of jam, such as raspberry or blackberry, or even top the dip with fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts.

How to Serve

With graham crackers: This is a classic pairing for cheesecake dip.
With pretzels: The salty flavor of pretzels complements the sweet dip perfectly.
With fruit: Fresh fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries, or apple slices, adds a refreshing touch.
With vanilla wafers: These delicate cookies are another great option for dipping.
