2. 2

   Place the crust in the freezer to set for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

3. 3

   In a blender, puree the strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.

5. 5

   In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

   Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust.
