Ingredients
  

Creamy Filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Spatula
  • Measuring Cups
  • Whisk
  • Refrigerator
  • Container

Method
 

  1. Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This prevents lumps in the final filling.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fully combined and slightly fluffy.
  3. Pour in strawberry puree and mix gently. The color should look evenly blended.
  4. Whip heavy cream separately until soft peaks form, then fold into mixture carefully.
  5. Chill before using. The filling should hold shape but remain smooth and spreadable.

Notes

For thicker texture, chill longer or add more cream cheese. For lighter filling, fold gently to keep air. Chill before assembling to prevent sliding layers. Add citrus zest or extra vanilla for variation. Store refrigerated up to three days and avoid freezing for best texture.
