Step-by-Step Instructions (Chef James Method)

Fold in whipped cream to create a light, mousse-like texture ideal for a no bake strawberry cheesecake cake effect.
3. Slice the Cake Layers
Use a serrated knife to avoid tearing the sponge.
4. Assemble the Cake
Layer cake → cheesecake cream → strawberries → repeat.
Press gently to eliminate air pockets.
5. Chill Before Serving

Storing a strawberry cheesecake cake Walmart-style dessert requires extra care because of the dairy and fruit.

❄️ Freezing
You can freeze the base layers, but not the fully assembled cake (cream cheese + strawberries release too much water).
