Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I rinse my strawberries and carefully slice them. I love how vibrant and fresh they look! Then, in a mixing bowl, I combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, whipping it until it reaches stiff peaks. There’s something so satisfying about watching the cream transform from liquid to fluffy clouds of sweetness. Once that’s done, I set it aside and grab another bowl to combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. It creates such a rich base that balances perfectly with the lighter whipped cream. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
