Description

A delightful and easy-to-make Strawberry Dessert Bruschetta featuring toasted sourdough slices topped with a creamy Nutella and cream cheese spread, fresh diced strawberries, and crunchy toasted walnuts. Perfect as a quick dessert or sweet snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

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

Spread

  • 4 ounces 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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Toast Bread: Brush one side of each sourdough bread slice with melted butter and arrange them buttered side up on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cool Bread: Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow to cool completely to prevent the spread from melting.
  4. Mix Spread: In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and Nutella hazelnut spread until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a hand mixer or mix by hand.
  5. Assemble Bruschetta: Spread the Nutella and cream cheese mixture evenly over each cooled toast slice.
  6. Add Toppings: Top the spread with diced strawberries, then garnish with the toasted chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of creamy, fruity, and crunchy textures.

Notes

  • To toast walnuts on the stovetop, place them in a small sauté pan over low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Ensure the bread is cooled completely before spreading to maintain the texture of the topping.
  • This dessert bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the crispiness of the toast and freshness of the strawberries.
