I have a guest who said she went to a show a long time ago and they made a dessert she could only remember a couple of the ingredients french bread, strawberries, cream cheese and maybe lemon and lemon juice. She said they made a spread with the cream cheese and lemon juice and maybe powdered sugar. Spread it over the slice of bread and toped it off with a couple of slices of strawberries. Has anyone heard of a recipe like this? Thank you.

sounds a lot like the luscious lemon angel roll except it is angel food cake not french bread (but we know the customer is always right) WINK, WINK :)
 
I made this at my initial show last April 30. It's French Bread sliced and lightly toasted on a stone in the oven. Cream cheese is mixed with powdered sugar, I think. Diced strawberries or sliced, are mixed with sugar. Spread the cream cheese over the bread and then spoon the strawberries over the cream cheese. So good. Maybe someone has already found the recipe. I'll look.
 
I believe it is the Strawberry Bruschetta (sp??). It was probably in the SS Season's Best in 2005. I'll look it up for you tomorrow if nobody else posts it first.
 
Strawberry Bruschetta in the SS SBRC '05.
20 slices of French Bread, cut 1/4 in. thick
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 lemon
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 powdered sugar
2 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds
Additional powdered sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 375. Brush butter over bread slices that are placed on a stone. Combine the cinnamon and sugar in the Flour Sugar Shaker and sprinkle it over the bread. Bake 12-14 minutes, golden brown.
While the bread is baking, zest lemon for 1 teaspoon zest. Juice lemon for 2 teaspoons of juice. Whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice until smooth.
Scoop cream cheese w/ Small Scoop over bread slices; spread evenly. Top slices with strawberries using Medium Scoop. Sprinkle bruschetta with almonds and additional powdered sugra, if desired. Serve immediately.
 
this recipe is so yummy.....
 
I think its the puffed pastries.(strawberry amondreto puffed pastry. spring 06 cookbook
you use the sour cream but when you add the alondreto and the cool whip and the powered sugar it's like your tasting cream cheese topping from cheese cakes.it has an orange zest can use lemon instead.
its also in the starter kit for newbies. i joined in feb so look for the new kit enhancement for then and you'll find it.

Thank you all so very much I'll share this with my guest see what she says.
Again THANK YOU!!
 
Would any of you that have been around a while have an extra of the SS SBRC '05? I've been a consultant for a year, but I've been "collecting" the SB's for quite some time and I just found out that is the ONE I'm missing from the last several years. (I think I've got them all back to Spring '00). I would really appreciate it. PM me.thanks
 
Yes, I have an extra one of those.

I have '94 to present - all of them but do have a duplicate of that one.
