Description

Strawberry Dessert Bruschetta combines crispy toasted sourdough bread with a luscious Nutella and cream cheese spread, topped with fresh diced strawberries and toasted walnuts for a perfect blend of textures and flavors. This quick and easy dessert is ideal for a sweet snack or a delightful party appetizer.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 8 slices 1/2-inch-thick sourdough bread
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Spread

  • 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Nutella hazelnut spread

Toppings

  • 2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for toasting the bread.
  2. Toast the bread: Brush one side of each sourdough slice with melted butter and arrange them buttered side up on the baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cool the toasts: Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely to ensure the spread adheres nicely.
  4. Mix the spread: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and Nutella together until smooth and well combined. Alternatively, you can mix by hand using a bowl and handheld mixer.
  5. Assemble the bruschetta: Spread a generous layer of the Nutella and cream cheese mixture onto each cooled toast slice.
  6. Add toppings: Evenly distribute the diced strawberries on top of each spread-covered toast.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted chopped walnuts over the strawberries for added crunch and flavor.
  8. Serve: Present the strawberry dessert bruschetta immediately to enjoy the combination of textures and freshness.

Notes

  • To toast walnuts on the stovetop, place them in a small sauté pan over low heat. Stir frequently until they become fragrant, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Letting the toasts cool completely before spreading prevents the cream cheese and Nutella mixture from melting.
  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds based on personal preference.
  • For a festive touch, drizzle a little honey or sprinkle powdered sugar just before serving.
