Strawberry Cheesecake Dip (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dip

01 - ½ cup (113 g) heavy cream
02 - 1 cup (113 g) powdered sugar
03 - 8 ounces (227 g) cream cheese, at room temp
04 - ½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring

→ Topping

05 - ¼ cup (85 g) strawberry preserves

→ For Dipping (Optional)

06 - Graham crackers

# Instructions:

01 - Combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Use a hand or stand mixer to blend it all until smooth and creamy, then set it aside for later.
02 - Pour the heavy cream into another bowl. Grab your hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip the cream for a couple of minutes until it forms medium peaks.
03 - Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix until it’s completely combined. Transfer it to a shallow dish, spread it evenly, and spoon strawberry preserves on top. Twirl the jam into the mixture using a knife for a marbled look.
04 - Dig in right away with graham crackers, or stash it in the fridge to chill until serving time.

# Notes:

01 - Strawberry jam can be swapped with any flavor jam or strawberry topping for ice cream.
02 - Use 1 cup Cool Whip topping instead of ½ cup of whipped heavy cream, if that’s easier.
03 - Perfect for dipping graham crackers, slices of apple, vanilla cookies, or pretzels.
04 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
