Notes

  • Use room-temperature feta for the smoothest texture.
  • The plain whipped feta keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; once topped with strawberries, eat it the same day.
  • Don't leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F).
  • Honey isn't recommended for babies under 12 months.
