🍓 Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, and finely diced)
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (cold)
• 1 cup Strawberry yogurt (or Greek yogurt for a tangier bite)
• 4 oz Cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
• ⅓ cup Powdered sugar (adjust to preference)
• 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
• Extra strawberries (sliced, for the top garnish)

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Fruit: Wash your fresh strawberries thoroughly, remove the green tops, and dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. Set them aside on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set it aside.
3. Create the Smooth Base: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, strawberry yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and free of any lumps.
4. Fold it Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and yogurt mixture using a rubber spatula. Work slowly in a circular motion to keep the texture incredibly light and fluffy.
5. Add the Berries: Toss in your diced fresh strawberries. Stir gently just until the juicy berry pieces are evenly distributed throughout the beautiful pink cream.
6. Portion and Fill: Spoon or pipe the strawberry cream mixture evenly into small individual serving glasses, or transfer it into a large glass presentation bowl.
7. Garnish and Chill: Top each cup with a few beautiful fresh strawberry slices. Slide the glasses into the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving. This allows the dessert to set perfectly and gets it ice-cold.
