I used reduced fat cream cheese and added a touch of pure vanilla extract. EXCELLENT spread.

This spread has excellent flavor, but mine did not turn out the consistency for spreading on bagels (and since the submitter states it's good on bagels, I thought this was important to mention). My daughter suggested freezing it in popsicle molds, and that worked well. Delicious popsicles.

I should have read the reviews on this one prior to making. I processed in my blender and it was too runny. I had to add more cream cheese to thicken it up a bit. I only added a little bit of the sugar, my strawberries were sweet enough. Taste really great on a bagel, I will make it by hand next time and just add the strawberries until it reaches the right thickness. My son was dipping pretzels in it, I tried one and it was pretty good.

Saw some reviewers say it was a bit too much sugar. Maybe for bagels...but for COOKIES it was perfect. I used this to make strawberry sugar cookie sandwiches and it turned out great.

Very light and tasty. I finely diced the strawberries and used cultured cream cheese. Then whipped it up in the mixer. This time I omitted the sugar because we ate it with stuffed french toast. Yummy!

I didn't have the strawberries so I used homemade strawberry jam (used about 5 tablespoons and only about a teaspoon of confectioner's sugar). Awesome! Will not buy store brand strawberry cream cheese again!

I used seedless strawberry jam (1/2 cup for a block of cream cheese) instead of fresh strawberries. You can add a drop or two of red food coloring to make it look better; it will be almost tan colored if you use jam. Every kid loves this stuff!

What a wonderful way to jazz up cream cheese. I used a little less sugar than requested and it was perfect. My spread turned out a little too loose so I tried putting it in the refrigerator but that had little effect in firming it up. It was still very good. So simple and so delicious.

I used softened cream cheese and strawberries in the kitchen aid using the whip - no sugar needed. Yum-o

Wow! I'm pleasantly suprised at how good this is - it's so incredibly easy with so few ingredients! I cut the recipe in half and added the confectioners' sugar to taste. I processed half the strawberries and chopped a few folding them into the cream cheese mixture as I like them "chunky". This was so good over top fresh bagels and as a fruit dip. I'm sure I'll find many for uses for this - definitely better than store bought.
