This delightful Strawberry Dessert Bruschetta is a quick and easy sweet treat that combines crispy toasted sourdough bread with a smooth, creamy Nutella and cream cheese spread, topped with fresh diced strawberries and crunchy toasted walnuts for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 8 slices sourdough bread, 1/2-inch thick
  • 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: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for toasting the bread.
  2. Toast the Bread: Brush one side of each sourdough bread slice with melted butter, place them buttered side up on the prepared baking sheet, and 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 them to cool completely before adding any toppings to prevent sogginess.
  4. Prepare the Nutella Cream Cheese Spread: In a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together room temperature cream cheese and Nutella until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Alternatively, use a handheld mixer or mix well by hand.
  5. Assemble the Bruschetta: Spread the Nutella and cream cheese mixture generously over the cooled toast slices. Then, evenly top each slice with diced fresh strawberries.
  6. Add the Walnut Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted chopped walnuts over the strawberries for added crunch and flavor.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: The strawberry dessert bruschetta is now ready to be served immediately for a delicious and elegant treat.

Notes

  • To toast walnuts on the stovetop, add them to a small sauté pan over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth spread.
  • For variation, you can substitute the sourdough bread with other types of crusty bread like baguette or ciabatta.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispiness of the toasted bread.
