Why Organic
Why use organic ingredients in this recipe? You all know I’m a huge organic advocate, and I bet you may be thinking sometimes, Why would I even bother to use organic ingredients in something that is so sweet and indulgent? But, that is the exact reason why you should use organic ingredients! Sweet things need to have flavor in order to be good, otherwise they are just sweet and they don’t taste like much else. Organic ingredients are more pure than conventional ones, therefore they actually have more flavor than the non organic options. Say it with me, organic means more flavor! And not just more flavor but a more true and pure flavor. And organic ingredients are much healthier for you to eat in general as they do not contain GMOs or anything artificial. Plus, you are being environmentally friendly when you choose organic ingredients!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.

Ingredients
8 ounces organic cream cheese
4 ounces organic strawberries, de-stemmed
Directions
- Add the cream cheese into a medium bowl.
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces and add into the cream cheese. You can use a variety of tools here, either a potato masher, a whisk, or even a hand mixer to mix this together. If you like whipped cream cheese, then use a hand mixer. Mix together until uniform, and you see small bits of strawberries.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I just save the cream cheese container and put it back inside there!
