Fresh Strawberry Drop Biscuits with a cream cheese glaze
Drop Biscuits filled with fresh strawberries and topped with a cream cheese glaze. These little breakfast treats were a favorite by everyone in our family (except my daughter that does not like strawberries).
So I posted a raspberry version of these biscuits that other day. We liked these so much that I immediately thought of another version. My boys love strawberries so much. We usually always have some in the refrigerator. Strawberry and cream is just a match made in heaven. I also happened to have cream cheese in the fridge. And was like, how amazing would these biscuits be with strawberries and a cream cheese glaze? AMAZING I tell you.
My 9 year old was doing his homework next to me while I was working on this post and he pointed to the pictures and said, yeah those were good! haha. I just love him. Kids are so honest too. If he doesn’t like something he will nicely tell me. And if he’s really a fan of something, he will always say, “put this on your blog!” Love that kid.
So there are 2 ways you can do the glaze. You can drizzle for a messy & rustic look. Or you can spoon it on thicker. I am torn because I like the way they look with the glaze drizzled but preferred to eat them with the glaze spooned over the top. Cause more glaze is always better.
I really hope you try these drop biscuits. Moist, tender, bursting with strawberries and sure to make you smile. Enjoy!

Can these be frozen? It makes so many, it would be nice to just pull a few out when you need them.

I think they would freeze ok! I haven’t tried freezing these but I freeze muffins all the time. Just put them in something airtight 🙂
