Creamy Cherry Cheese Bites with Almonds

A couple of years ago, I hosted a brunch the day before my stepdaughter’s wedding and made these creamy cherry cheese bites. Once I mixed the cream cheese and all-fruit together, I gave my then 18-month-old niece a taste. She wasn’t talking much, but her eyes told me how much she liked it. She kept coming over to me and sticking out her tongue because she wanted more.

Creamy Cherry Cheese Bites

I decided to make this snack today with cherries, given that it’s President’s Day. The stems look cool, but the cherries do have pits, which makes them a little hard to eat. This recipe works equally well (maybe even better) with raspberries, strawberries (slice them if they are large), or blueberries. I bet they’d be great with chunks of fresh peach in the summer too. Just change the flavor of all-fruit you use accordingly.

These creamy cherry cheese bites will disappear quickly. If one of your guests comes up to you and sticks out their tongue, take it as a compliment.
