Creamy & Firm Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

By dkosik

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 small packages strawberry gelatin
• 4-8 oz. packages cream cheese at room temperature
• 1-16 oz. package frozen sweetened strawberries (thawed)

Preparation

Step 1

Put on cup of water into a clear glass bowl-don't substitute. Microwave on high until it boils. Add the two boxes of gelatin and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until you can smear the mixture against the side of the bowl without seeing any granules. It should be clear and red. This step will take a few minutes. Add the strawberries and mix well. Let this come to room temperature. DO NOT refrigerate. Cream the cream cheese in a stand mixer until fluffy. Add the strawberry mixture a half cup at a time until it is well blended (it will be a little thin). Refrigerate for an hour or more or until ready to use.
