  2. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Assembly

  2. Top with mini chocolate chips and sliced strawberries.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother mixture. For extra flavor, consider drizzling melted chocolate on top. Use store-bought graham cracker crusts if short on time.
