1. Cut strawberries into slices.
2. Arrange biscuits in the middle of a plate.
3. Place a slice of cream cheese and some strawberry slices on each biscuit.
4. Garnish with grated lime zest and a mint leaf before serving.
Play around with textures in the cheese, depending on what you like best. Cut it straight out of the fridge to get a firmer, cool sensation in the bites, or take it out of the fridge and let it sit for 20-30 minutes before serving. Letting it come to room temperature makes it softer and creamier, creating a delightful contrast to the crispy biscuits and juicy strawberries.
Choose ripe but firm strawberries for the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Look for a vibrant red colour, avoiding berries with white tops or soft spots. The aroma should be sweet and strong, and fresh green leaves are a sign of freshness.
