Ingredients:

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 cup cream cheese (whipped)

½ cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar

Vanilla essence (to taste; *should not be more than 1 tsp)

Buy a prepared strawberry jam. Or, make your own:

1 cup strawberries (freshly hulled, washed, cleaned, quartered)

½ cup honey

Honey substitute: granulated brown sugar + cornstarch + hot water.

Strawberry Garnish:

More strawberries (freshly hulled, washed, cleaned, sliced; for garnish)

Confectioner's (powdered) sugar for garnish

Directions:

1. Cream Cheese Frosting: Blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence
2. Strawberry Glaze: Place strawberries in non-stick pan. Cook in very low heat till just about all moisture in the strawberries disappears. While still hot, add honey. Turn off the heat immediately so that the consistency in honey remains.
