Dessert with Strawberries and Cream Cheese
In summer, strawberry season, I love a simple recipe for dessert with a fruity flavor. Because when it’s hot outside, you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. And this summer treat is so easy to prepare. It takes three ingredients and 10 minutes of your time.
The sweet strawberries combined with the creamy flavor is a match made in heaven. And because the strawberries are in season, you don’t need to add sugar. Instead, I add some walnuts to give it a nutty bite. And when I want to make it even more special, I add a splash of Amarula (optional but a great choice!)

What do you need for this Easy Cream Cheese Strawberry Dessert?
To prepare this Three Ingredient Dessert with Strawberries and Cream Cheese, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Strawberries - Use fresh strawberries if you can get them. Strawberries are best in late spring and summer. Otherwise, they may taste watery.
- Cream Cheese - Use natural cream cheese at room temperature so you can pipe it better.
- Walnuts - to give it a bite and nutty flavor. Of course, you can omit it, but I like it.
- Amarula - Fully optional. But if you want to make it memorable (and, of course, adult only), add a splash of Amarula on top. It's a perfect addition.
