Notes
My recipes have been developed and tested in metric grams. I highly recommend using a weighing scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way. Just click on ‘metric’ above ingredients.
Cream Cheese: keep the cream cheese cold. If your cream cheese comes in tubs instead of packets, pat it dry with a paper towel before using.
Freeze-Dried Strawberries: you can find these at Trader Joe's, Target, or Amazon. Note, you can't swap these out for frozen strawberries!
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Let sit at room temperature until spreadable.
