Ingredients

  

• 4 oz cream cheese softened
• 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced thin
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 8 slices crackers or bread slices cut into bite-sized pieces

Equipment

• Cutting Board
• Sharp Knife

Method

 

1. Arrange all ingredients: Place the softened cream cheese in a small bowl for easy spreading. Slice strawberries thinly using a sharp knife on a cutting board. Rinse blueberries and raspberries thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry. Prepare crackers or bread slices by cutting into uniform bite-sized pieces and set aside.
   
2. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese onto each cracker or bread piece using a spreading knife or spoon, covering the surface evenly. Place a thin slice of strawberry on top of the cream cheese on each piece. Arrange a blueberry or raspberry on the strawberries to mimic the red, white, and blue color scheme. Repeat for all pieces.
   
3. Transfer the assembled bites onto a serving platter, ensuring they are spaced out for visual appeal. Keep any leftovers refrigerated if not served immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional berries for a colorful presentation.
   

Notes

For added flavor, try mixing a teaspoon of honey into the cream cheese before spreading. Use a variety of berry sizes for a more dynamic appearance.
