Pink, it was love at first sight.
A bright pink dessert, perfect for celebrating both the beginning of May and the arrival of a new royal princess! It’s a safe bet this new baby princess will be the most stylishly dressed baby ever.
What’s not a safe bet? I don’t know what the people putting money down on names Chardonnay, Mercedes, or Ringo were thinking. (Although… some of the names people bet on for George were even crazier.)
Going back to this creamy strawberry cheesecake dip. One taste and you’re going to want to devour the entire bowl…
And that is perfectly okay!
Behind the scenes:
That’s a mini tripod above. And a chopstick.
Setting up a food photography shoot with only one set of hands, I sometimes have to improvise.
Strawberry Cheesecake Dip
- 1 cup strawberries, stems removed
- 1/2 cup cream cheese spread, such as Tofutti
- 1/16 tsp uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp powdered sugar or maple syrup
- if using stevia or powdered sugar, also add 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Using a blender or hand blender, process all ingredients until completely smooth. This strawberry cream cheese dip also gets thicker as it sits and can be made a day in advance if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Yum!! This sounds amazing! I’m a huge fan of anything strawberry cheesecake flavor, I definitely need to recreate this, plus I think I already have most of the ingredients on hand!

This looks A-amazing! Also, the pink color makes it even better.
Ana @ Ana's Rocket Ship says
So what did you have planned for if it was a boy? And this looks so pretty and pink!!! Do you think it would work using silken tofu instead of the cream cheese? It’s really hard to get vegan cream cheese where I am!
Leanne Winters says
oh yummy, the frosting looks great too. Fit for any princess xx
