- 4 oz yogurt or more cream cheese/coconut cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar or sugar-free alternative
- 5 medium strawberries fresh or thawed from frozen
- 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste optional
Instructions
- If using cream cheese, let it come to room temperature. If using coconut cream, ensure it’s thick and creamy.
- Remove strawberry stems and mash or blend the berries until smooth.
- Add cream cheese (or coconut cream), yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the strawberry puree. Blend until smooth and silky.
