Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cream is one of those foods that covers many bases. It can serve as a dip or a spread to a variety of cookies, breads, and cakes. It’s pretty pink and chocolate speckled appearance is bound to please!

This cream is one of those recipes that sounds fancy, but it is far from complicated. It is a great thing to make for the weekend to brighten the dull drum of monotonous foods and it’s a great treat to gift to friends and neighbors!

First whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Then beat the cream cheese in another bowl alongside the strawberry jam and a bit of vanilla extract. Next fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese-jam mixture, making sure that the whipped cream doesn’t deflate and it stays nice and fluffy.

Finally fold in mini chocolate chips and you’re done!

The perky pink tone is cheery and inviting. This recipe makes about one and a half mason jars or three small jelly mason jars worth of cream.

Its fluffy light texture is perfect on bread, bagels, and croissants! It makes a great companion to a variety of pastries and can even act as a dip to fruit, cookies, and biscuits. It elevates the common cream cheese or blah jam for a treat that’s meant to dive into again and again.

The bits of chocolate provide a great bit of crunch and contrast the fruity creamy elements of the cream with a rich chocolatey tone of delight.

Outside of the jam, there’s no other sugar making the flavors of the cream cheese, strawberry jam, and chocolate shine!
