- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries thoroughly, then slice them into bite-sized pieces to ensure fresh, juicy bursts of flavor in every bite.
- Whip the Cream and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the whipped cream and powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
