Strawberry Cake Cream
Very tasty and delicate - ideal for soaking layers! Strawberry cake cream is one of the best options. It spreads beautifully between cake layers and enriches berry bakes. It’s thick, aromatic, doesn’t run, and holds its shape.

Preparation
Step 1
How do you make strawberry cream? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Use heavy cream with at least 33% fat. It must be well chilled so it whips properly. The cream cheese, however, should be brought to room temperature so it mixes in evenly. It’s best to use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar so it dissolves faster in the cream.
Step 2
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen, thaw them first and drain off excess liquid. Frozen berries make it possible to prepare this cream even in winter. Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Put the berries into a chopper and blend into a purée.
Step 3
Use a deep bowl for whipping. Pour in the cold heavy cream and add the powdered sugar. Start whipping for 1-2 minutes on low speed so the powdered sugar dissolves. Then switch to high speed and whip until fluffy and stable. If desired, add a pinch of vanillin.
Step 4
Add the cream cheese to the whipped cream and mix everything together.
Step 5
Then add the strawberry purée little by little, folding it into the cream with a whisk. I don’t recommend using a mixer here, because vigorous beating with berry purée can make the cream more runny.
Step 6
The finished cream will be very tender and airy. Use it to fill cake layers or serve it as a dessert, simply topped with fresh berries. For a firmer consistency, adjust the proportions so there’s more cream cheese than cream.
Step 7
I used this cream to assemble a cake. After assembling, refrigerate the cake for several hours so it can soak and set. Enjoy cooking!
