Instructions

2. Make the Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Blend half of the strawberries into a puree.
In a small saucepan, cook the puree with sugar and lemon juice for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
