Strawberry Cream Cheese

Yummy, luscious, oh-so-sweet local strawberries!  I ordered a pound of these beauties and savored a few every morning with breakfast for a week.  When I reached the bottom of the container, I had a few mushy berries left.  Too scrumptious to just throw away or turn into compost, I used the Full Quiver cream cheese I had in the fridge to make a strawberry cream cheese spread.  A touch of cinnamon adds an interesting taste but feel free to omit or substitute vanilla if you prefer.  I used brown sugar to sweeten but of course, you can use honey, agave, or plain sugar.

3-4 strawberries

8 ounces cream cheese

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1-2 Tablespoons brown sugar

Rough chop berries and sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon sugar.  Allow berries to sit for at least 1/2 hour to macerate, which means the sugar will draw moisture and flavor out of the berries.  Add berries, cream cheese, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and mix for 2-3 minutes on high speed.  Taste and add more sugar if desired.
