Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups frozen whole strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil thinly sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture

  • Place the frozen strawberries in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add the granulated sugar and balsamic vinegar.
  • Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes so the strawberries can thaw and absorb the flavors.

Mash the Strawberries

  • Once the strawberries have softened, use a fork to gently mash them.
  • Leave some chunks for texture instead of creating a puree.

Assemble the Dip

  • Place the cream cheese block on a serving plate.
  • Spoon the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese, ensuring even coverage.
  • Sprinkle the thinly sliced fresh basil on top for a burst of herbaceous flavor.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Pair with crackers, pita chips, or fresh baguette slices.
  • Serve immediately or allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes before serving.
