4 sheets gluten-free rice cakes Shop
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp maple syrup Shop
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
0.5 tsp vanilla extract Shop
1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-combined, with no lumps remaining.
2 Gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries and chopped mint leaves, if using. Stir just until the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to mash them too much.

4 Arrange the prepared rice cakes on a serving platter. For best results, chill them in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the topping to set slightly before serving.
5 Serve these delightful strawberry cream cheese rice cakes immediately for a refreshing snack, or cover and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
