Crust

- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
- Take one cup of the fresh strawberries and crush them, then add them to the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the Cool Whip to the cream cheese mixture, and using an electric mixer, blend until smooth and fluffy.
- Coarsely chop the remaining cup of fresh strawberries and gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the crust has cooled completely, spread the filling evenly over the top.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate the Strawberry Cloud until ready to serve.
