Strawberry Dessert Bruschetta is a delightful sweet twist on the classic Italian appetizer featuring crispy toasted sourdough bread topped with a creamy Nutella and cream cheese spread, fresh diced strawberries, and crunchy toasted walnuts. This easy-to-make dessert combines rich flavors and textures perfect for a light treat or a party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bruschetta

  • 8 1/2-inch-thick slices sourdough bread
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Topping

  • 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Nutella hazelnut spread
  • 2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat 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 slice with melted butter and arrange them buttered side up on the baking sheet. 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 toppings to prevent sogginess.
  4. Prepare Nutella Cream Cheese Spread: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and Nutella together until smooth. Alternatively, use a bowl and hand mixer for this step.
  5. Assemble the Bruschetta: Spread the Nutella and cream cheese mixture evenly over each toasted bread slice. Top with diced strawberries and garnish with the toasted walnuts.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of crisp toasted bread and fresh toppings at their best.
  7. Toast the Walnuts (Optional): To toast walnuts on the stovetop, heat a small sauté pan over low heat, add the chopped walnuts, and stir frequently until fragrant (about 3 minutes).

Notes

  • Make sure the bread is fully cooled before spreading the Nutella mixture to avoid melting and sogginess.
  • Toast walnuts just before assembling for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • You can substitute sourdough with any crusty bread if preferred.
  • For best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries.
