Fresh Berry and Cream Cheese Dessert Recipe (Gluten-Free Too)

This is a simple but WOW treat! Our whole family LOVES it.  This is my mom’s creation. She is a great cook and makes many wonderful things…. including this! We also love this as it is a healthier…. alternative to many desserts and this one is also gluten-free!

We wanted to share this as this is the perfect season with the warmer weather approaching and berries being in season.

So here’s what you need to make this sweet treat!

  • 3 cubed Golden Delicious or Red Delicious apples
  • 1 lb strawberries
  • 1 6oz package of blueberries or blackberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups whipped cream (this just puts a light glaze on the fruit)
  • ½ an 8oz. container of whipped mixed berry cream cheese
  • ½ an 8oz. container of regular whipped cream cheese
  • Mint leaves for a garnish and to “cleanse the pallet”

To make:

  • Wash and cut your apples into cubes and strawberries into quarters and wash the other berries.
  • Then mix the berries and apples in a bowl with the sugar and whipped cream.  This will give them a nice coating and take the tart bite out a bit!
  • Mix the berry cream cheese with the regular cream cheese in a separate bowl.
  • Then place in your serving dishes.  My mom likes to serve them in champagne glasses. Sometimes she even uses the disposable ones from the Dollar Store. 
  • Then top with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture and a mint leaf!
  • Serve immediately!

Yummo!!

And this particular meal was a 3-generation effort! My grandmother provided these gorgeous daffodils from her garden – they are so perfect that they look fake!
