Ingredients
Bottom layer
- 7.1 oz (200 g) cream cheese
- 3 ¼ oz (100 g) heavy cream
- 6 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (if you have a sweet tooth, increase the amount slightly)
- 5.8 oz (165 g) curd (opt for a high-fat curd)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon (30 g) gelatin powder
Middle layer
- 14 oz (400 g) blended strawberries
- 1 ¼ tablespoon gelatin powder (5 gelatin sheets)
Top layer

- 3 ¼ oz (100 g) heavy cream
- ¾ tablespoon gelatin powder (3 gelatin sheets)
Top strawberry layer
- 7 oz (200 g) blended strawberries

Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer
- In a large bowl, whip cream cheese with the sweetener using an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth.
- Add heavy cream and continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
- Mix in curd and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Prepare gelatin according to package instructions and carefully fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the cake mold and transfer to the freezer to set slightly.
Create the Strawberry Layer
- While the first layer sets (approximately 15-20 minutes), prepare your strawberry mixture by blending fresh strawberries until smooth and mixing with prepared gelatin.
- Once 15-20 minutes have passed, remove the first cake layer from the freezer, pour the blended strawberry mixture on top of it, and return to the freezer.
Final Layer and Assembly
- In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese with sweetener and heavy cream.
- Prepare another batch of strawberry mixture (strawberries + gelatin).
- Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the cream for a beautiful marbled effect. Don't overdo!
- Pour over the previous layers and freeze for additional 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and decorate with fresh strawberries or other garnish of your choice. Refrigerate until serving (at least 6 hours).

Notes
Chill for Success: Allow enough time - at least 4 hours in the refrigerator for the perfect texture. Overnight chilling delivers the best results!
Sweetener Selection: Use powdered sweetener to avoid graininess in the filling.
Texture Control: For a firmer texture, increase the gelatin slightly. The best way to test consistency is to give the pan a gentle shake.
Gelatin Options: To convert between gelatin sheets and powder, remember that one packet or tablespoon of powdered gelatin equals four gelatin sheets.
Fresh strawberries give the brightest flavor, but frozen berries work once thawed and drained.
