Strawberry Whipped Cream Cheese Filling

Step 1

Chill the whisk attachment or beaters of a handheld mixer in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a medium sized bowl, add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry puree and strawberry extract. Mix until blended. Slowly add the heavy cream and beat until fluffy- this will take about 2 minutes.

Step 5

This is a soft filling and so you'll want to pipe a dam of frosting about 1/2 inch from the edge of the cake layers, then spread filling within the dam. Makes about 3 cups.
