Ingredients in Triple Berry Almond Bruschetta

Triple Berry Almond Bruschetta Ingredients

Cream cheese: For the bruschetta topping, use 4 ounces of softened cream cheese. You can use regular cream cheese or a non-fat or low-fat variety.

Sugar: To sweeten the cream cheese, you will need to add in 1/4 cup of sugar.

Half & Half: You need 2 tablespoons of half and half to create the perfect consistency to the creamy topping. You can use whole or 2% milk instead, but maybe use a little bit less to make sure the topping doesn’t get too runny!

Almond extract: Using 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract gives the topping such a great flavor.

Orange zest: You will need 2-3 teaspoons of grated orange peel to bring some fresh citrus taste to this delicious treat. You could use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of orange extract if you don’t have fresh oranges on hand.

Orange juice: You need 1 tablespoon of orange juice for this recipe.

Vanilla extract: Use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for even more flavor.

Nutmeg: Just a pinch of ground nutmeg adds a great earthy flavor to the recipe.

Bread: You will need 12 slices of a French bread baguette to use as the base of this delicious snack.

Butter: Use butter to coat the bread with a thin layer of butter before baking the bread to prepare for assembling this appetizer. This will help to flavor and crisp up the top of each slice.

Berries: 1 1/2 cups of fresh mixed berries makes this bruschetta pretty and tasty at the same time! I love using strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, but you can use just one type of berry or you can add in some other fruits if you prefer.

Almonds: Using 1/2 cup of toasted, chopped almonds will give a delicious crunch to this sensational snack.

How to make Triple Berry Almond Bruschetta

Prep

Start by toasting the almonds, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350° F for 5-10 minutes. You want them just lightly toasted, keep a close eye on them so you do not burn them.

Wash, remove stems and dice the fresh fruit into small bite size pieces.

Cream cheese mixture

In a medium size bowl, combine the half and half and the softened cream cheese, mix until smooth.

Then, add in the sugar, almond extract, orange peel zest, orange juice, vanilla extract and nutmeg, stir until well mixed. Set aside.

Bread

Grab a cutting board and slice the French bread baguette into 12 1″ thick pieces.

Next, lightly butter both sides of each slice of bread and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Broil on high for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Watch closely so they do not burn!

Assemble

Let the bread cool for a couple minutes, then spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice of toasted bread.

Then, add a couple pieces of each type of fresh fruit.

Next, sprinkle some of the toasted almonds on top of the fruit and bread.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
