Description

Strawberry Dessert Bruschetta is a delightful and easy-to-make sweet twist on traditional bruschetta, featuring toasted sourdough bread topped with a creamy blend of cream cheese and Nutella, fresh diced strawberries, and toasted walnuts for a perfect combination of textures and flavors.


Ingredients

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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for toasting the bread.
  2. Toast Bread: Brush one side of each sourdough slice with melted butter and place them on the baking sheet buttered side up. Toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  3. Cool Toasts: Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow them to cool completely; this will help the topping stay intact when assembled.
  4. Prepare Nutella Cream: In a stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, beat together cream cheese and Nutella until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a hand mixer in a bowl for this step.
  5. Assemble Bruschetta: Spread the Nutella cream evenly on each toasted bread slice. Top with diced strawberries evenly over each toast.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the toasted chopped walnuts on top for added crunch and flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • To toast walnuts on the stovetop, place them in a small sauté pan over low heat. Stir frequently and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. This method helps release their flavor without burning.
  • Let the toasts cool completely before spreading the Nutella mixture to prevent melting and sogginess.
  • You can substitute sourdough bread with another sturdy bread like French baguette or ciabatta if preferred.
