Tips & Variations
Best not to mess with a classic. In my opinion, this simple tried and true recipe is pretty perfect the way it is! But here are some great tips if you’re looking for something different.
- Enhance the sweetness. Add another flavorful note, add a tablespoon of pure vanilla extract to the mixture. Remember that pure, not imitation extract will yield the best results.
- Maraschino Cherry Juice. The strawberry cream cheese adds a great amount of fruity flavor. To add even more, consider pouring in a tablespoon of maraschino cherry juice! To keep things strictly strawberry, add a teaspoon of strawberry extract to emphasize that flavor.
- Orange Juice. To add a note of citrus, add one tablespoon of frozen orange juice to the mixture.
