Strawberry Cream Cheese (Vegan)

I always thought strawberry cream cheese on a bagel was such a fun treat growing up. If only I knew sooner how easy it is to make your own without any artificial flavors or refined sugars. You guys have to try this easy to make recipe because it is so tasty and a great way to mix up your breakfast routine. You can enjoy it with bagels, on toast, or by the spoonful because it’s almost like strawberry cheesecake!

Why is this strawberry cream cheese healthy?

Unlike most store bought cream cheese, this recipe contains no artificial flavors, artificial colors, refined sugars, or other unnecessary ingredients! It is flavored with REAL freeze dried strawberries which give the cream cheese a fabulous flavor!

This strawberry cream cheese is also dairy free and is great for those who can’t eat dairy or have a sensitivity to it like I do! You can make this recipe with dairy based cream cheese, but I recommend getting a high quality dairy that isn’t from cows pumped with added hormones and fed poor quality food.

This recipe is sweetened with a little maple syrup which contains some vitamins and nutrients compared to processed sugars like cane sugar. You can also use Monk Fruit to sweeten as well for a low sugar option!

What you will need

Dairy Free Cream Cheese – My favorite brand to use is Kite Hill because it is made with pretty simple clean ingredients.

Freeze Dried Strawberries – I always try to get organic freeze dried strawberries to avoid pesticides and this brand here is my favorite!

Maple Syrup – This is my preferred sweetener of choice, but you can also use honey or monk fruit.

How to make the strawberry cream cheese

First, add the freeze-dried strawberries in a small food processor and process until a powder consistency forms. Then add the cream cheese and maple syrup and process until smooth. Store the strawberry cream cheese in an air-tight container in the fridge and enjoy throughout the week!
