TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Berry Bliss Rice Cake Bites:
- Avoid Soggy Cakes: Let any washed fruit dry fully before topping to preserve crispness.
- Soften The Cheese: If cold, soften the cream cheese for a smoother spread.
- Visual Flair: Alternate berry patterns or cut strawberries into fun shapes to excite kids.
VARIATIONS
- Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, seeds, or granola for added crunch.
- Sweet Flavour Boost: Drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup on top for added sweetness.
- Fruit Swap: Use raspberries, chopped kiwi or mandarin segments based on preference.
- Dairy-Free Option: Replace cream cheese with coconut or almond-based spread for vegan versions.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Make Ahead: Assemble right before eating. Prep components earlier, but top only minutes before serving.
- Refrigeration: Store any leftover berries or spread them separately. Assembled cakes are best eaten within 1 hour.
