Note

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to make it easier to form smooth dollops.

For a smoother texture, you can blend the thawed strawberries before adding them to the Jello mix.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

You can substitute the frozen strawberries with fresh hulled strawberries if preferred.
