2 TB cream cheese, at room temp
2 TB half-and-half or single cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 TB packed dark brown sugar
Directions
Heat the oven broiler/grill on high and place an oven rack about 4 inches or so from the heat source.
Arrange the strawberries evenly in a small broiler/grill-safe gratin dish. Place the cheeses, half-and-half, vanilla, and granulated sugar in a small bowl and mix together until smooth. Evenly pour over the strawberries, then sprinkle over the brown sugar.
Broil/grill for 5-8 minutes, until the cheese just starts to brown. Keep a close watch. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
