Tips & Tricks

Tips & Tricks

Ensure that the whipped cream cheese is at room temperature, as this makes it easier to spread. While adding the balsamic glaze, use a spoon or a pipette for precision and avoid making the crackers soggy. Choose ripe but firm strawberries. They will give the right sweetness without making the crackers mushy.
