Pro tip: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.

Fold in whipped cream

Assemble the cake

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Arrange strawberries

Layer the sliced strawberries evenly over the filling, ensuring complete coverage.

Pro tip: For a neat appearance, start from the centre and work outwards in concentric circles.

Chill the cake

Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
