Print Recipe

A quick and easy strawberry cream board perfect for Galentine’s Day, brunch, or any sweet gathering. Combines fresh strawberries with a creamy, slightly tangy whipped cream cheese mixture, drizzled with honey and garnished with nuts and mint.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • A handful fresh mint leaves
  • Crackers or cookies for serving (e.g., buttery shortbread or water crackers)
  • Optional: sliced almonds or crushed pistachios for texture

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups of fresh strawberries under cold water, hull and slice evenly. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until light and spreadable, about 2 minutes.
  5. Spread the cream mixture evenly over a serving board or platter, leaving space around the edges.
  6. Arrange the sliced strawberries artistically over the cream layer.
  7. Drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the strawberries and cream.
  8. Sprinkle sliced almonds or crushed pistachios if using.
  9. Scatter fresh mint leaves around for garnish.
  10. Serve with crackers or cookies on the side.

Notes

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes for smooth blending. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping heavy cream for better peaks. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese to keep mixture light and fluffy. Prep strawberries just before serving to avoid sogginess. Drizzle honey last for fresh sweetness. Can be made dairy-free by substituting cream cheese with cashew cream and heavy cream with coconut cream.
