🧾 Ingredients

Base Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Creamy Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (or sugar to taste)

Strawberry Mix

  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Optional Additions

  • Crushed biscuits (for texture)
  • Chocolate spread or cocoa powder (for swirl effect)
  • White chocolate chips

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Wash and chop the strawberries into small pieces.

In a bowl:

  • Add strawberries
  • Add sugar
  • Add lemon juice

Mix well and let sit for 10–15 minutes. This process creates a natural strawberry syrup and enhances flavor.

💡 Tip: Mash some of the strawberries slightly to release more juice.

Step 2: Make the Cream Base

In a cold bowl:

  • Add heavy whipping cream
  • Beat using an electric mixer

Once it starts thickening:

  • Add powdered sugar
  • Add vanilla extract

Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

This step is very important for achieving that fluffy texture.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In another bowl:

  • Add softened cream cheese
  • Beat until smooth

Then add:

  • Sweetened condensed milk

Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4: Combine Cream Mixtures

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Do this slowly using a spatula to keep the mixture airy and light.

Do not overmix.

Step 5: Add Strawberries

Add the prepared strawberries (with their juice) into the mixture.

Gently fold them in to distribute evenly.

At this stage, your dessert becomes slightly pink and creamy.

Step 6: Create the Swirl Effect (Optional but Recommended)

To get the look from your image:

  • Add small drops of chocolate spread or cocoa powder
  • Use a spoon or knife to gently swirl

This creates a beautiful marble effect and adds flavor contrast.

Step 7: Transfer to Dish

Spoon the mixture into a glass container or serving dish.

Use a spatula or piping tip to create decorative swirls on top.

You can also press lightly to remove air gaps.

Step 8: Add Toppings

  • Add whole or sliced strawberries on top
  • Dust lightly with powdered sugar
  • Optional: drizzle chocolate or add biscuit crumbs

❄️ Step 9: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until set.

For a firmer texture, chill overnight.
