Cheese and berries aren’t just for appetizers! Make your dessert shine with a combination of the two.

I adore berries. I also adore cheese. Thus, you’ll often see both on a charcuterie tray at my house. Plus, as you can see from above, you’ll find them offered together when it’s time for dessert. Let’s check out these three recipes.

Ridiculously Easy Fruit Dip– I have been making this dip forever. It is a 2-ingredient recipe that is pretty darn sweet, so it should be a dessert. However, if you’re looking to add a little variety to an appetizer buffet, it definitely can work there as well.

Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait- I love cheesecake, but sometimes I don’t feel like spending all the time to make and bake that dessert. With this parfait you get all the flavors of a cheesecake with a lot less effort.

Sweet Cheese Filled Strawberries– These were created by daughter several years ago. They’re a nice, sweet way to end a meal, a simple way to satisfy your sweet tooth without making you overly full.

You’ve got options here, none of which require the stove or oven and all of which are easy to make. So, no excuses! Choose the one that is most appealing to you and get cooking.
