Description

A luscious combination of ripe strawberries, creamy vanilla filling, soft cheese crumbles, and crunchy honey-glazed walnuts. Light, refreshing, and incredibly satisfying!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 100 g soft cheese crumbles (ricotta, cottage cheese, or soft feta depending on desired flavor)
  • 80 g walnut halves or pieces
  • 200 g Greek yogurt or whipped cream cheese
  • 120 ml heavy cream (whipped OR liquid if mixing into yogurt)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or cream cheese), heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat until creamy, smooth, and slightly fluffy. Spread or spoon into the bottom of a serving bowl.
  2. Heat honey and butter in a small pan over low heat until melted. Add walnuts and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat. Let cool slightly until sticky and glossy.
  3. Add the halved strawberries on top of the cream layer. Sprinkle generously with soft cheese crumbles. Spoon the warm honey-glazed walnuts over the berries. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness of the cream base by varying the amount of powdered sugar.
  • For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream cheese.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
