Step 1: Mix the base

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. If it looks lumpy, keep mixing!

Step 2: Whip the cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches medium peaks. This means it holds its shape but isn’t too stiff. Overwhip it, and you’ll end up with butter!

Step 3: Fold it together

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula and go slow—you want to keep that airy texture intact.

Step 4: Swirl in the strawberry magic

Spread the dip into a shallow bowl and drizzle the strawberry jam on top. Use a knife to swirl it through for that marbled effect.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy!

This dip is best enjoyed right away, but you can also chill it for an hour if you like it extra thick. Serve it with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh strawberries.
