Try adding slices of kiwi for a tangy twist, sprinkling some crushed nuts for added crunch, or using blueberries for a burst of colour and tartness. Exploring different herbs like mint can also offer a fresh variation.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure that the whipped cream cheese is at room temperature, as this makes it easier to spread. While adding the balsamic glaze, use a spoon or a pipette for precision and avoid making the crackers soggy. Choose ripe but firm strawberries. They will give the right sweetness without making the crackers mushy.
